Attend the free book launch of “Tetris: The Games People Play” by the award-winning cartoonist and illustrator Box Brown at The Booksmith on Monday, October 17, 2016 at 7:30pm in San Francisco, California.

Brown appears in a conversation with Ed Luce to discuss the book, which is a comic’s history of the beloved and addictive game. Tetris was created in 1984 by Alexy Pajitnov while developing software for the Soviet government.

In the book, the New York Times-bestselling author unravels the complex history of the game and demonstrates the impact a well-made game can have on culture, art and commerce all over the world.

This event is free but an RSVP is encouraged.
