ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Bewilderment” by Richard Powers follows Theo Byrne, a widowed astrobiologist, and his son Robin, who struggles with emotional and behavioral challenges after the death of his mother, Aly. Set against a backdrop of environmental collapse and political unrest, Theo navigates the difficulties of raising Robin while seeking ways to help him cope. A groundbreaking experiment linking Robin's brain to his late mother’s memories brings both emotional breakthroughs and ethical dilemmas. The novel explores themes of loss, memory, the limits of scientific intervention, and the quest for connection, blending personal grief with broader existential questions about humanity’s future.
