From the New York Times best-selling author of The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry--a glorious and immersive novel about two childhood friends, once estranged, who reunite as adults to create video games, finding an intimacy in digital worlds that eludes them in their real lives.
On a bitter cold day, in the December of his junior year at Harvard, Sam Masur exits a subway car and sees, amid the hordes of people waiting on the platform, Sadie Green. He calls her name. For a moment, she pretends she hasn't heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: A legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom. They borrow money, beg favors, and, before even graduating college, they have created their first blockbuster, Ichigo a game where players can escape the confines of a body and the betrayals of a heart, and where death means nothing more than a chance to restart and play again. This is the story of the perfect worlds Sam and Sadie build, the imperfect world they live in, and of everything that comes after success: Money. Fame. Duplicity. Tragedy.
Spanning over thirty years, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Venice Beach, California, and lands in between and far beyond, Gabrielle Zevin's Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a dazzling and intricately imagined novel that examines the multifarious nature of identity, games as artform, technology and the human experience, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love. Yes, it is a love story, but it is not one you have read before.

He would know that if he hadn't been the person he was, terrified and cowardly and petty and insecure and sexually panicked and broken, Sadie might have been his. It wouldn't have been a question. He would have leaned across a desk and kissed her, and she would have led him to a soft surface somewhere, and they would have made love. Maybe the sex wouldn't have been exceptional, but it wouldn't have mattered. Because the other things they had were finer than sex. Because he loved Sadie. It was one of only a handful of things that he knew to be a constant about himself. (查看原文)
Sam looked at Anna cautiously. “What happened to her?”
“The ambulance is out there right now. They’re taking her to the hospital.”
“Will she be okay?” Sam said.
“I think so,” Anna said. It wasn’t exactly a lie. She would be okay. Dead was okay. (查看原文)

被这本书的高分震惊了。 故事我很喜欢,讲的是两个来自LA的Gen X Sadie and Sam,小时候相识于打游戏,长大以后一个MIT硬核coder(必须是女孩子),一个哈佛文理兼修还很artsy (韩白混血男孩),两个人一起写游戏,开创自己gaming company 基本上属于爽文,看男女主角和英俊的...

很难想象一本(原则上来说应该)涉及亚裔文化+非异性恋poly relationship的书竟能让我感到如此被冒犯,可能是我太敏感了吧。 原则上来说,这本书的核心应该在“通过游戏和制作游戏,在跨文化的桥梁中略微抵抗人类对未来的虚无性”—从书名就能看出:“What is a game?" Marx sa...

就,很普通。做成电视剧如果cast合适我可能会看(因为看电视剧本质上是plot driven的),但作为一本小说narrative过于普通了。而且很冗长。

对这里的人物很多行为都无法理解: 1. 无法理解Sam为什么就不去把他那该死的脚治好? 2. 为什么Marx对Sam产生了无缘无故的爱? 3. Sam与Sadie到底是什么感情,这种关系真的是有毒,别扭。 最后,看得出作者是去补课电子游戏了,但是作者根本不懂编程,哪个程序员会敲键盘敲到手指出血?我当年连续写十多个小时,几万行代码,手指头也不疼啊,倒是头疼。
