This book hit me like Ready, Player One did a few years back. And, it's also about games. Primarily computer games, but so much more. As a female computer science student at MIT in the 90s, Sadie also studied psychology, literature, and Classics. I ADORED this aspect of the story, and I think I would have enjoyed Sadie's games more than the other NPCs in the book. It's about kindness and friendship and love and death and tragedy and all of human existence rolled into one story.
