Jesper Juul coedits the MIT Press Playful Thinking series. His previous books include Half-Real and The Art of Failure. He is Associate Professor at the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen and has taught at MIT and New York University. His first computer was a Commodore 64, on which he wrote games and demos.

" Commodore founders' personalities are expertly presented in this recommended book that offers insight into how and why corporate and marketing decisions were made."
--Library Journal

"You might get the impression that [Too Much Fun] is a simple revisiting of the C64 in the time of its heyday--but it's actually a much stranger book than that. . . . [Juul] keeps surprising you with original bits of data journalism. . . . I highly recommend Too Much Fun. It's both a needed corrective to other history books, and a book in a category all its own. . . . Juul is one of the great gaming thinkers and historians."
