Playground by Richard Powers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The blurb on the center of the paperback cover for Richard Powers’ novel PLAYGROUND says “Prepare to be awed.” And all I have to say is… PREPARE TO BE AWED.
Language to ease into like the warm waves of a tropical sea. Hurt that stings like Chicago sleet on a chapped face. Astonishing storytelling that had me holding back tears, rocketing through the final hundred pages completely unaware of what was happening around me. Makes the monstrous triumphs of technology very personal–Powers has put us all on a clock. I was awed.
