Dear Ones,
Rumi is to spiritual poetry what Richard Powers is to literary prose.. both completely
astonishing, conscious and deeply moving divinely creative expressions. Superlatives
completely evade me to describe the power and depth of Richard Powers work.
In his newest book Playground, he creates a holographic tapestry that pulls through
deeply wise and fascinating threads from themes as disparate as computer internet history
with the new AI dimension thrown in, to off shore floating cities, to clear and remarkable
descriptions of the astonishingly intricate intelligence that lives in our oceans. He has
delivered characters that you would swear totally exist now as real persons. There is NO
way to synthesize this book. There is simply not a Cliff Notes version. It is a seamless
holographic whole that is baffling and illuminating in moments in a way that is impossible
to either take apart or analyze. I thought his Pulitzer prize winning book The Overstory
had to be the pinnacle of his life’s work. I was wrong. This is a work of gargantuan genius!
