The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and the free browser game The Great Gatsby, will both force you to think about massive wealth, massive power, and how small you might feel in the middle of it.
If you’d rather not consider the futile slog to upward social mobility in America, in either 1925 or 2022, you can instead focus on jumping through the luxurious environments of this game, which manage to express the grandeur of Fitzgerald’s West Egg in just a couple of pixels, as if Mario and Luigi were from Long Island. Remember, Hot Book Summer is not about making important realizations through learned information, but embracing the arrogance of your inner Nick Carraway.
