“We make things that we hope will be bigger than us, and then we’re desolate when that’s what they become.” - Todd Keane, tech visionary and billionaire entrepreneur in Playground, the latest work by Richard Powers.
Playground: A Novel, written by the prolific and Pulitzer-prize-winning Powers, tells a beautiful and complex story about humanity and inhumanity, love and friendship, geopolitics and power, nature and the climate crisis, as well as the unlimited potential and very real limits of technology, including artificial intelligence. A rich and exquisite wonderland, Playground is full of surprises - not just in the lives of its main characters, but also for its readers. It's a timely tale.
