FROM THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE SHORTLISTED AUTHOR OF THE OVERSTORYIn a digital laboratory on the shores of Puget Sound, virtual reality researchers race to complete the Cavern, a bland white room that can become a jungle, a painting, or a vast Byzantine cathedral.

"Spectacular.. Powers loves placing brilliant characters inside a fluorescent incubator, then watching ideas hatch on the page... Riveting" * New York Times Book Review *
"Richard Powers is one of the few writers who has taken on the challenge of Thomas Pynchon, creating a complex, unsentimental and simultaneously deeply moving world" * Red *
"There's no other way to say it: Richard Powers is a genius" * Time Out *
"One of the finest efforts from the massively gifted Powers, who again probes the fluid buffer between science and the imagination" * Kirkus Reviews *
"Superb...powers' seventh and perhaps greatest novel...one of the most astonishing feats I've ever seen in literature." * Washington Post *
