「本書是我讀過最好的小說之一!」-《生命中的美好缺憾》作者約翰·葛林一對好朋友一起走上遊戲界巔峰,面對迎面而來的風暴
 
  Sam是在醫院的遊戲房中遇到Sadie的,當時Sam因為車禍而在醫院中養傷,Sadie則是來陪伴治療癌症的家人。兩人因為遊戲而結識,這是屬於他們兩個人的小宇宙,充滿激烈的競爭意識和歡樂。在遊戲房內玩電玩的歲月,似乎有永遠那麼長,卻也一眨眼就畫下句點,那些回憶似乎隨著時間慢慢褪色…

  八年後,就讀哈佛大三的Sam,在一個冷進骨子裡的日子,正準備離開地鐵車廂,卻在人擠人的月台上看到了Sadie的身影,他大喊了一聲:Sadie Green!只見她稍微遲疑,似乎想裝作沒聽見似的,但最終緩緩轉過身來。自此,屬於他們兩個的「遊戲」正式拉開帷幕。就著兩人彼此從小到大對電玩的熱誠,以及創作上的天份,他們打造出了一套叱吒市場的熱門遊戲,將自己推上了頂峰,伴隨著名聲、金錢而來的,自然是一齣齣的悲劇和考驗…(文/博客來外文館)
  Let the games begin! 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 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.
