Delete. I know Kohler has previously written for Wired, so I don't have any doubts this is a legitimate book that would likely also be a reliable source for various video game articles. As an article itself, though, I didn't come up with much proving its notability as a standalone book. My WP:BEFORE turned up dry, so it appears not to meet WP:GNG.

Delete - Kohler's book is a great read, and it's been very useful for a lot of articles. As a standalone article though, I don't see it being notable. Namcokid 47 ^(Contribs) 16:09, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
