Masters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture is a book by David Kushner about id Software and its influence on popular culture, focusing chiefly on John D. Carmack and John Romero. Adopting a novel-like narrative, Kushner chronicles the lives of both men from childhood through the early successes of id Software to the new heights the company reached with Doom.
Kushner was an early entrant into the field of video-game journalism, and recycled some of his own original reporting in the book.
A budget film based on this book is currently in production.[1]
