A dazzling new novel by the author of Galatea 2.2 and GainIn a digital laboratory on the shores of Puget Sound, a band of virtualreality researchers races to complete the Cavern, an empty white room that can become a jungle, a painting, or a vast Byzantine cathedral. In a wartorn Mediterranean city, an American is held hostage, chained to a radiator in another empty white room. What can possibly join these two remote places? Only the shared imagination, a room that these people unwittingly build in common, where they are all about to meet.Adie Klarpol, a skilled but disillusioned artist, comes back to life, revived by the thrill of working with cuttingedge technology. Against the collapse of Cold War empires and the fall of the Berlin Wall, she retreats dangerously into the cyberrealities she has been hired to create. On the other side of the globe, Taimur Martin, an English teacher recovering from a failed love affair, is picked up off the streets in Beirut by Islamic fundamentalists and held in solitary captivity.A mesmerizing fiction that explores the imagination s power to both destroy and save, Plowing the Dark recasts the rules of the novel and stands as Richard Powers s most daring work to date.
