“What is a game? It's tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. It's the possibility of infinite rebirth, infinite redemption. The idea that if you keep playing, you could win. No loss is permanent, because nothing is permanent, ever.” ―from Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, by Gabrielle Zevin I really read this one ages ago, over #Ithacon weekend, while I spent the rest of my time demoing our games, playtesting a new game, and talking about game design. Such a strange feeling. #Tomorrowx3 is all about game design and creativity, what parts of ourselves come out in our games, and which parts of our relationships come out in games and game dev. The main characters are the right age for Oregon Trail memories, and there’s a running joke about the classic You Have Died of Dysentery. But this is more about friends riffing on a shared experience, this isn’t a novel of gamer references (I'm looking at you, Ready Player One). The games, real and imagined, exist to tell the story of creativity, friendship and love. What's your favorite line from a game? #gabriellezevin #videogamesforlife #tomorrowandtomorrowandtomorrow #bookblogger #books #bookstagram #bookworm #booklover #bookish #booknerd #bookaddict #bookaholic #booklove #bookphotography #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #bookblogging #bookcover #bookclub #minibookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/CmJpPKar33Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yes, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a love story, but unlike any you have read before. Sam and Sadie—two college friends, often in love, but never lovers—become creative partners in a dazzling and intricately imagined world of video game design, where success brings them fame, joy, tragedy, duplicity, and, ultimately, a kind of immortality. Gabrielle Zevin’s X novel examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect.
