Richard Powers is a powerful writer (yes, I'm aware of the aptronym). He is also a powerful advocate for finding our connection to the natural world.
Through his fiction he nudges us to find a way to rejoin nature, and not regard ourselves as separate and exceptional. In his interviews, he reminds us, 'after all, we are not the only game in town'; that it's time to reframe our place in the natural world.
Most potently, he asserts:
Life is something we need to stop correcting.
and
Life on earth is more resourceful and capable than we think.
I'm in awe.
