The Significance of Maker Biographies

Bet on a weirder future, like maker biographies. They tell the inside story of creators, their struggles, breakthroughs, and mistakes. One example is Jordan McNer's book about the making of Prince of Persia, revealing the work in progress and the journey to create a masterpiece. Walter Isaacson also writes about maker types, like his biography of Leonardo da Vinci, exploring his struggles and breakthroughs. Maker biographies offer insight into the pain, difficulty, and mistakes that accompany great creations. Check out the incredible book 'Making of the Prince of Persia' for a unique firsthand account of the creative process.
