The novel "Wargames" (Wargames) is the writer’s first and most successful attempt at novelizing Hollywood films. The novel is based on the film of the same name.
A rebellious story about a troubled teenager who, after hacking into military computers, triggers the Third World War was released in 1983 and, as they say, “hit the mark.” The Cold War between the USSR and the USA is in full swing, and the theme of turned-on, computer-obsessed teenagers was also very popular.
