Über diesen Titel
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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. It is a love story, but not one you have heard before.
"Delightful and absorbing." —The New York Times • "Utterly brilliant." —John Green
One of the New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century • One of the Best Books of the Year: The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, TIME, GoodReads, Oprah Daily
From the best-selling author of The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry: 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.
These friends, intimates since childhood, borrow money, beg favors, and, before even graduating college, they have created their first blockbuster, Ichigo. Overnight, the world is theirs. Not even twenty-five years old, Sam and Sadie are brilliant, successful, and rich, but these qualities won’t protect them from their own creative ambitions or the betrayals of their hearts.
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 examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.

"Delightful and absorbing...Zevin burns precisely zero calories arguing that game designers are creative artists of the highest order. Instead, she accepts that as a given, and wisely so, for the best of them plainly are...Expansive and entertaining...Dozens of Literary Gamers will cherish the world she’s lovingly conjured. Meanwhile, everyone else will wonder what took them so long to recognize in video games the beauty and drama and pain of human creation."—Tom Bissell, The New York Times
"A tour de force... A moving demonstration of the blended power of fiction and gaming....Zevin describes herself as 'a lifelong gamer.' That level of experience could very well have produced a story of hermetically sealed nostalgia impenetrable to anyone who doesn’t still own a copy of 'Space Invaders.' But instead, she’s written a novel that draws any curious reader into the pioneering days of a vast entertainment industry too often scorned by bookworms. And with the depth and sensitivity of a fine fiction writer, she argues for the abiding appeal of the flickering screen."—Ron Charles, The Washington Post
“Whatever its subject, when a novel is powerful enough, it transports us readers deep into worlds not our own. That's true of Moby Dick, and it's certainly true of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, which renders the process of designing a great video game as enthralling as the pursuit of that great white whale….There are…smart ruminations here about cultural appropriation, given that the game, Ichigo, is inspired by Japanese artist Hokusai's famous painting The Great Wave at Kanagawa….It's a big, beautifully written novel about an underexplored topic, that succeeds in being both serious art and immersive entertainment.”—Maureen Corrigan, NPR’s Fresh Air

1. The main characters are complex, thoroughly detailed and seem so deeply human that I can barely think of other novels with character building on that level. The intimacy they build and lose is colourful and varied. And feels heartshatteringly organic.
2. Zevin's use of language was a joy to listen to. She managed to capture complex emotions very efficiently, from comical to existential dread and despair. Her writing is on point - it doesn't waste time or words, but the impact of each sentence feels like it is exactly what it needed to be. Her choice of words or narrative devices is dazzlingly imaginative and creative.
3. The structure of the book is kept engaging and rewarding. Zevin's ability to perfectly time tangents or callbacks is such a beautiful tool of giving either context to a character's emotions or motivations, or a very engaging way of providing exposition. Especially the parts "The NPC" and "Pioneers" were based on incredible narrative choices and lended themselves to multi-layered themes and character building, enabling the rich characters and colourful language to shine fully, and making those sections the highest points of the book.
Overall, I can only think of a few novels that had a deeper impact on me. I am planning on rereading it, which I usually never do. I deem it a masterpiece, albeit not a perfect one.
(note: it helps if you're into videogames, but it's not a requirement)

Ich hätte mir nie gedacht eine Buch, das sich um das Entwickeln von Videospielen dreht, könnte zu einem meiner Lieblingsbüchern werden!
Die Sprache, die Dialoge… manchmal zum Weinen und im nächsten Augenblick ein strahlendes Lächeln.
Die Erzählerin des Buches nimmt einen auf diese Zeitreise ins Jahr 1994 bis in die 2010er Jahre mit transportiert Gefühle und Emotionen.
Einfach nur schön!
Absolute Empfehlung!
