Hellloooooo listeners!
Happy New Year! We are back for 2025 and kicking off strong with a beautifully depressing read. Bewilderment by Richard Powers explores the potential effects of modern science and technology in a not-too-far-away United States. Astrobiologist Theo Byrne and his son Robin struggle through the horrifying realities of life on Earth and the death of their wife and mother. This book is equal parts terrifyingly poignant and astonishingly beautiful. It will leave you questioning your place in the cosmos and mourning - if not, appreciating - our beautiful Earth. Buckle up and check on yourself before and after reading this one, lol.
Next week's book: Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross
Love ya, see you next week!
