This is not just a book about videogames and game designers, this book dives into the challenges that college students face when they are taking the steps into the real world. The challenges that come when the world is constantly changing. Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow touches on hard topics such as grief, gun violence, gay rights in ways that make you feel like we are failing the world for the future generations.

the_rabble's review against another edition
Lots of clichés- which is fine, I love a trope- but none of it was particularly fresh or created movement.
I liked the family members we met and that one of the characters does some artistic crafting for the other.
Aside from that, this is just rich kids who have bad judgement and trauma. The main characters were not interesting or sympathetic. One is placed in an emotional abusive relationship condoned by her friends. The second time that happened is about where I noped out.
There are also Silicon Valley-esque interstitials of tech reporting that made me like the Ivy Leaguer MCs even less on top of the "it's okay that our friend is
The gaming is not joyful, it's a slog that also manages to paper over how sometimes you just don't win those 90s era games. It felt... discordant with my own experience (but I was a Sega/DOS kid, maybe the author was NES.)
It also sucks to read a book where the only other woman game designer is portrayed as someone to shit on.

Definitely check out the content warnings before reading this one because some of them came out of left field. I'm usually a horror/thriller reader, but there were a few scenes that were so jarringly dropped into this story that I got uncomfortable.
