I liked how it talked as much about the environment (cultural, business practises) of the time as well as the technology. There's some interesting trivia here too: like Atari setting up different companies to avoid regulations.

I had an Atari 2600 as a kid as well, and learned machine language programming on the 6502. I'll definitely be picking up a copy of this. Awesome!
