Richard Garriott's autobiography — covering the creation of the Ultima series, the founding of Origin Systems, and his space tourism adventure.
The Ultima origin story: Garriott's account of creating Ultima in his bedroom at 19, building Origin Systems, and the moral philosophy embedded in the Ultima series documents the early home computer gaming era from the inside. The space tourism chapter (paying $30M to fly on Soyuz) documents private space access. A study in maintaining creative ambition across multiple domains over a long career.
