Richard Powers

Pulitzer Prize winning author Richard Powers has released a bold new novel called Playground. Set in the world’s largest ocean, Playground explores the last wild place we have yet to colonize and explores interweaving themes of technology and our shared humanity. Todd Steed caught up with Richard Powers to explore the novel and find out how a single photograph changed his life.

Richard Powers discusses his love of the Great Smoky Mountains and the connection of the park to his new novel, Bewilderment.
