2021 Booker Prize Longlist: Bewilderment by Richard Powers

This thread is for discussion of Bewilderment by Richard Powers. No unhidden spoilers, please.

For me, this is a book about survival. In order to survive, a father and his young son need to connect to each other in new ways after the mother dies. And it‘s hard to survive anyway in a world falling apart due to our own neglect of it. They find consolation in each other‘s company, the boy being highly sensitive, the father a scientist. Beautiful written, with a big sense of urgency.
