Richard powers had come out with a new novel where you will have no apologies or no concessions this time. We could see him from “Gold Bug Variations” to “The Echo Maker” – National award winning book, where he is famous for writing his novels of ideas. Now “Generosity – An Enhancement” takes on DNA, Genetic Engineering, the profession of psychology, nature versus nurture, literary theory, the difference between fiction and fact, whether happiness should be sought, the uses of depression, the eroding boundary between public and private, the Internet and Chicago. According to this book we have four main characters: Russell Stone, Candace Weld, Thassadit Amzwar and an unnamed writer and the story revolves around these characters. His books are terribly a cerebral teases, and his stories will always have a recursive feedback loops. Richard’s journey in this book will make the readers on bread-crumb trails that lead nowhere.
