'It changed how I thought about the Earth and our place in it . . . It changed how I see things and that's always, for me, a mark of a book worth reading.'
- Barack Obama
'One of our most lavishly gifted writers'
- New Yorker
'Nothing less than brilliant'
- John Updike
'It's not possible for Powers to write an uninteresting book'
- Margaret Atwood
'With its first few pages, Powers' novel completely captivated us and with its last, it bowled us over. Powers creates a texture and specificity to our future that feels simultaneously sweepingly large and breathtakingly intimate, told through the most relatable point of view: the ferocious love of a parent for his child and his struggle to provide him a better tomorrow.'
- Leigh Kittay, Black Bear's Head of Film
