So, this was billed as the 'behind-the-scenes' look at the war between Sega and Nintendo. Now, I'm not sure where all of the invented conversations came from, but they struck me as odd. I imagine they were made up... Which you can't really do for something billed as non-fiction.
It was an interesting story, and shows very much why Sega is non-existent, why Nintendo keeps hanging on, and Sony that surpassed them.

"This speaks very directly to the person I am right now. Observations from a woman in middle age on marriage, divorce, freedom, and countless other things. She notices everything and records it in an unconventional way. And for anyone writing non-fiction, it’s a masterclass in how to do it."
