The Digital Resurrection: A Race Against Time
What if technology could resurrect the dead? In Richard Powers' "Playground," this question haunts Todd Keane, a brilliant tech billionaire facing his own mortality through early-onset dementia. As his mind deteriorates, Todd races to create an artificial intelligence capable of preserving human consciousness. But can digital code capture what makes us truly human? The novel unfolds across three intertwined lives-Todd's technological ambition, his childhood friend Rafi's philosophical resistance, and marine biologist Evelyne Beaulieu's deep connection to the natural world. Their stories converge on Makatea, a remote Pacific island with its own complex history of exploitation and renewal. Through these characters, Powers explores humanity's oldest dream-defeating death itself-while questioning whether our technological innovations might be creating something entirely new.
