Thanks for the recommendation, I checked out the book (I had never heard of it) and it does sound interesting, by chance have you listened to the audiobook? It’s read by Wesley and I haven’t listened to any audiobooks read by him. (https://www.audible.com.au/pd/Masters-of-Doom-Audiobook/B00F...)
If we're talking about Wil Wheaton I'll also suggest giving Ready Player One a try. It's a short but very enjoyable book and Wil does a great job at bringing it to life.
It may be a regional difference, but the link goes to a book narrated by Wil Wheaton for me. I found Wheaton's narration to be a great listen. He's not the slow-paced, calm narrator you will find in many other non-fiction audiobooks, but rather an enthusiastic storyteller. For this book, I think it was a good fit.
Somewhat related - "Game Engine Black Book: Wolfenstein 3D" [1], by Fabien Sanglard.
Of course this is a very different book: it includes detailed reviews of the engine's source code, and translates complex concepts with ease. Plus the print edition is beautiful and colorful (which is a must for a game book).
