In 'Bewilderment', Richard Powers introduces us to Theo Byrne, a widowed astrobiologist who searches for life in the cosmos while raising his nine-year-old son, Robin. Robin is a special child, sensitive and concerned about endangered animals, but his intense emotions lead him to have problems at school. To avoid medicating him, Theo turns to an experimental neurofeedback treatment, using brain patterns recorded from Robin's mother. This novel explores the connection between a father and son, the beauty of the natural world, and the risks facing our planet, inviting us to reflect on how to convey the truth to future generations.
