Let the games begin! From the New York Times best-selling author of The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry comes a glorious novel about two childhood friends, once estranged, who reunite as adults to create video games, discovering a digital intimacy that eludes them in real life. On a bitter-cold December day during his junior year at Harvard, Sam Masur spots Sadie Green on the subway platform. Initially pretending not to hear him, she eventually turns, igniting a legendary collaboration that propels them to stardom. They borrow money and beg favors, and before graduating, they launch their first blockbuster, Ichigo, a game that allows players to escape their physical bodies and emotional betrayals, where death is merely a chance to restart. This story explores the perfect worlds Sam and Sadie create, the imperfect reality they navigate, and the aftermath of success: money, fame, duplicity, and tragedy. Spanning thirty years from Cambridge to Venice Beach and beyond, this intricately imagined narrative delves into identity, games as an art form, technology, disability, failure, and the redemptive power of play, ultimately highlighting our deep need to connect and love. It’s a unique love story unlike any other.
