Description Constantin Gilles - Extra Life
Are you one of those who grew up in the '80s with C64, Atari & Co? Then this book is perfect for you: It tells the story of two largely ordinary men in their late thirties who escape the monotony of their lives when they uncover a conspiracy that suddenly takes them back to their hacker days before the C64. In an old C64 game, they discover a secret message that sends them on a dangerous hunt around half the world.
The book is as thrilling as a crime novel, but at the same time, it is also a commentary on the culture of the first home computers. It is meticulously researched, rich in jabs at the establishment, and garnished with digs at the zeitgeist. Overall, it has 346 pages and it is written in German.
