Civilization 7 made a splash at Gamescom with a new gameplay trailer that revealed a February 11, 2025 release. You still have some time to kill before you can dive into the long-awaited sequel--and if you're looking for something to make the wait a bit easier, we recommend reading Sid Meier's Memoir: A Life in Computer Games. Written by the Civilization creator and author Jennifer Noonan, the memoir is a fantastic read, especially for Civ fans (unsurprisingly).
Sid Meier's Memoir: A Life in Computer Games
Published in 2020 by W.W. Norton, Sid Meier's Memoir is a 304-page book that chronicles the Civilization creator's four-decade career in video games. From the creation of his studio, MicroProse, to the development of classics like Pirates, Railroad Tycoon, and Civilization, it touches on all aspects of his illustrious career. Sid Meier's Memoir is available in four formats: hardcover, paperback, Kindle, and audiobook.

Along with details of his life, the book gives Meier's perspective on "the history of the industry, the psychology of gamers," and plenty of other insights.
If you prefer physical books, the hardcover is available for a great price, though you can save five bucks by opting for the paperback. Those who favor ebooks can grab a copy for only $10, while readers who like to listen to books on their morning and afternoon commutes (or while playing games), may want to check out the audiobook version.
