Descriptions, Reviews, etc.

Description: 2, Prisoner's Dilemma, The Gold Bug Variations, Operation Wandering Soul, Gain, and Plowing the Dark, Dewey places Powers in context as a major voice in the first generation born entirely within the era of television and the computer and shows us how Powers reminds his readers that we have never been so connected and yet never quite so alone.

Review Quotes:

Dewey's book is a good place to start for readers who are interested in Powers, and it will have a positive effect on further critical studies.
