Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of the ocean, the narrative follows Rafi and Todd, two high school students whose lives diverge as they bond over an ancient board game. Their paths intertwine with Evie, who faces a life-threatening situation, and Ina, who finds solace in art amidst a transient upbringing. As ambitious plans for floating cities threaten their home in Makatea, themes of technology, environmentalism, and human connection emerge. Richard Powers crafts a compelling exploration of humanity's relationship with nature and the complexities of modern existence.
