Announcing Gamers: Ghosts in the Machine Available for Pre-order
14th January 2026 It is with much pleasure that Extremis Publishing would like to announce the forthcoming release of Gamers: Ghosts in the Machine, the new book by computing legend Mel Croucher. Due to receive its commercial release on Friday 13th February, this bold new title explores the secret history of gameplay - not just a nostalgia trip, but a fast-paced guided tour through the minds that built the modern games industry from the ground up. From nineteenth-century visionaries who laid the first foundations of computing, to the arcade alchemists and software innovators who turned silicon into culture, Croucher profiles the twenty individuals who truly changed the game - each expressed in the unique words of the ghosts in the machine themselves. Witty, opinionated, and packed with insider insights, Gamers reveals how brilliant, obsessive, and sometimes eccentric thinkers transformed experimental machinery into a global creative force. Whether you grew up feeding coins into cabinets, loading cassette tapes on a home micro, or streaming modern epic gaming experiences over the Internet, this book uncovers the remarkable people who made it all possible and explains why their stories still matter today. Gamers is available to pre-order now from all good online retailers and independent booksellers worldwide. For more information, please visit our Gamers page. |
