From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Playground. “Plowing the Dark is virtual reality composed in a language that will never go obsolete.” —Kevin Berger, The San Francisco Chronicle Book Review

In a digital laboratory on the shores of Puget Sound, a band of virtual-reality researchers races to complete the Cavern, an empty white room that can become a jungle, a painting, or a vast Byzantine cathedral. In a war-torn Mediterranean city, an American is held hostage, chained to a radiator in another empty white room. What can possibly join these two remote places? Only the shared imagination, a room that these people unwittingly build in common, where they are all about to meet.

Adie Klarpol, a skilled but disillusioned artist, comes back to life, revived by the thrill of working with cutting-edge technology. Against the collapse of Cold War empires and the fall of the Berlin Wall, she retreats dangerously into the cyber-realities she has been hired to create. On the other side of the globe, Taimur Martin, an English teacher recovering from a failed love affair, is picked up off the streets in Beirut by Islamic fundamentalists and held in solitary captivity.

“Superb . . . Powers pulls off one of the most astonishing feats I’ve ever seen in literature . . . daring, unpredictable, and emotionally powerful.” —Steven Moore, The Washington Post Book World

“A fiercely visual book . . . the effect is spectacular . . . The most visceral prose Powers has ever written.” —Daniel Zalewski, The New York Times Book Review

“I don’t have the space to do justice to all the wonders of craftsmanship in Plowing the Dark . . . This is the first emblematic novel of the 21st century, a lesson and an inspiration.” —Judy Doenges, The Seattle Times
