ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Bewilderment" by Richard Powers tells the story of Theo, an astrobiologist, and his son, Robin, as they navigate a world facing ecological crisis and political turmoil. Following the death of Theo's wife, Robin struggles with his unique sensitivity to the world's suffering, leading Theo to seek unconventional treatments. The narrative explores themes of grief, environmentalism, and the ethical complexities of science, particularly through the DecNef project, which uses brain patterns to help Robin. As political chaos engulfs the nation, Theo and Robin find their future uncertain, grappling with the loss of the project and the escalating turmoil in the world.
