书籍介绍
这不是一本关于电子游戏的小说，尽管它几乎处处都在谈游戏。它真正追问的，是两个人之间那种说不清、剪还乱的关系——他们童年结怨、成年重逢，在代码与像素构筑的世界里找到彼此，却在现实里始终错过。作者最狠的地方，是把“创作”写成一种亲密：允许自己和另一个人一起玩耍，意味着敞开的、暴露的、随时可能被伤害的，如同狗翻起肚皮把嘴凑向你伸来的手，却从不咬下。书里那句“What is a game? It's tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow”，被读者反复引用，正因为它点破了游戏与人生的同构：无尽的重生与救赎，只要你继续玩下去，就终有一日会获胜。它适合那些愿意相信“有缺陷的才是hero”的人，也适合对一段纠缠半生的关系究竟算不算爱、算不算有毒，始终存疑的人。

精彩摘录
  • "He would know that if he hadn't been the person he was, terrified and cowardly and petty and insecure and sexually panicked and broken, Sadie might have been his. It wouldn't have been a question. He would have leaned across a desk and kissed her, and she would have led him to a soft surface somewhe"
  • "Sam looked at Anna cautiously. “What happened to her?” “The ambulance is out there right now. They’re taking her to the hospital.” “Will she be okay?” Sam said. “I think so,” Anna said. It wasn’t exactly a lie. She would be okay. Dead was okay."
  • "“Why do you keep coming?” she asked. “Because,” he said. Click on this word, he thought, and you will find links to everything it means. Because you are my oldest friend. Because once, when I was at my lowest, you saved me. Because I might have died without you or ended up in a children’s psychiatri"
  • "“You should. What kind of games do you play?” Sadie said. Hannah frowned. “Yeah, sorry, I have to run. Nice meeting you!” Sadie didn’t know why she bothered. You would think women would want to stick together when there weren’t that many of them, but they never did. It was as if being a woman was a "
  • "To allow yourself to play with another person is no small risk. It means allowing yourself to be open, to be exposed, to be hurt. It is the human equivalent of the dog rolling on its back—I know you won’t hurt me, even though you can. It is the dog putting its mouth around your hand and never biting"
  • "What a world, Sadie thought. People once made glass sculptures of decay, and they put these sculptures in museums. How strange and beautiful human beings are. And how fragile."
  • "MAZER: The alternative to appropriation is a world where white European people make art about white European people, with only white European references in it. Swap African or Asian or Latin or whatever culture you want for European. A world where everyone is blind and deaf to any culture or experie"
  • "Sadie walked under the gates, one by one by one. At first, she fell nothing but as she kept moving ahead, she began to feel an opening and a new spaciousness in her chest. She realized what a gate was: it was an indication that you had left one space and were entering another. She walked through ano"
用户评论
3.5星 故事本身ok，但不知道是不是narrator的原因，听起来叙述特别平淡和浅显，Sam和Sadie的故事感觉有很多可以深挖的地方。后半部分感觉特别冗长，Marx的死亡那段以及他昏迷的视角是个小亮点…总的来说，not my type…
不敢相信竟然在3天内读完了这本400页的书，大概是我最快记录吧，而且赶在了2022年的最后一天，让我想起2016年的最后一天，同样地读完了the time in between。故事其实还好，没有epic的感觉，只是很羡慕两人作为朋友一起做一些彼此擅长，又有了不错结果的事，是我一直以来的梦想。以前觉得自己想做这个想做那个，现在突然想有个人陪伴自己一起经历所有的事。不知道是不是2022年最后一天让我有点情绪化，不过今天的读书体验的确不是最好的。窗外断断续续有烟花爆竹的声音传来，我从来没有喜欢过烟花，真的很吵。
《岛上书店》作者今年的新作。在它当选Goodreads年度最佳小说之前的几天，神奇地被读友成功种草并读完。 这次作者笔下的主角团跟我是同龄人并且经历也有一点点类似。他们走了我当年因为种种原因没有走上的那条道路，所以阅读感触很深。 不过种种强行ZZZQ的情节安排时时让我出戏。
非常非常喜欢了，温暖的友情。不喜欢Marx的结局，一直想要改写。
在即将转码的路上阅读此书，仿佛给自己浇灌一壶文字鸡汤：作家与码农都在用自己的语言构建起虚拟世界。 尽管时不时感慨作者成熟的写作技巧，但又觉得“畅销书”味过浓，少了点打动人的纯粹。
游戏世界，游戏人生，误解和原谅
好有趣！！！
原来游戏也可以是人与人之间相互连结的缎带，总之是不喜欢玩游戏的我依然很爱的故事，相比作者的畅销书前作《岛上书店》更是成熟太多。 以及主角竟在无意之间道出我的心声 “I think I don’t like children because I hated being young” 再也不用做小孩的三十岁，好他妈的爽
游戏设计者的生活与虚拟世界 痛惜好像来自于前者而兴奋与满足都是后者给的 他们很善于游戏而现实技巧就差了些。很好读的故事 介于文学与类型小说之间 情节紧凑的page turner
