\nFrom the author's website:
\nOn a bitter-cold day\, in the December of his junior year at Harvard\, Sam Ma sur 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 sh e hasn&rsquo\;t heard him\, but then\, she turns\, and a game begins: a le gendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom. They borrow money\ , beg favors\, and\, before even graduating college\, they have created th eir first blockbuster\, Ichigo: a game where players can escape the confin es 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 per fect worlds Sam and Sadie build\, the imperfect world they live in\, and o f everything that comes after success: Money. Fame. Duplicity. Tragedy.
\nSpanning thirty years\, from Cambridge\, Massachusetts\, to Venice B each\, California\, and lands in between and far beyond\, Gabrielle Zevin& rsquo\;s Tomorrow\, and Tomorrow\, and Tomorrow is a dazzling and intricat ely imagined novel that examines the multifarious nature of identity\, gam es as artform\, technology and the human experience\, disability\, failure \, the redemptive possibilities in play\, and above all\, our need to conn ect: to be loved and to love. Yes\, it is a love story\, but it is not one you have read before.
