It took me a minute to get into this but I am absolutely riveted by the characters in this book (especially Eve the female diver)

It's been a minute since I read the first two Wild Robot books. I honestly don't remember them going this hard. The story conveys much in a way accessible to younger readers, it features the return of many beloved characters, but it also confronts: environmental pollution, undersea mining, the damage done in harvesting the minerals today (and likely the future)'s tech demands, 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? the extent to which individuals can make a difference, the limits of negotiating with for profit concerns, the possibility of more radical dismantling of harmful industrial equipment, the importance of the ocean ecosystem kept in balance. Yes, it's about a level of robot intelligence we've yet to see, and a bunch of anthropomorphic animals, but it also features humans who want to do better. 6d
Robotswithpersonality 3/? If this is the message that's going out to the youngest generation from a writer representing an older generation, then I am filled with a new wave of that all important HOPE. ♥️ 6d
Robotswithpersonality 4/4 There are, as the author states in the end note, other themes at play: home, parenthood, but they work best to underline the environmental concerns: all homes, all futures are threatened if action is not taken to clean up and protect the oceans, among other environments.

This is a beautiful anthology. Poems, lyrics, quotes, stories, and essays from a wide range of contributors. Radiohead, Ursula K Le Guin, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Ada Lovelace, just to name a few. I found much of this book oddly comforting. It‘s not necessarily a read “cover to cover” all at once book. It can be one you visit here and there when you want to ground yourself in thoughts of nature. It may not be for everyone, but I enjoyed it.

My sister took me to the new Barnes and Noble in Wicker Park in Chicago as part of my Christmas present. I got a couple of books from her and then finally broke my ban and bought some for myself. The nonfiction are from Barnes and Noble and the fiction are from another bookstore we hit up!

This is a brilliant masterpiece. Powers expertly weaves culture, class, technology and nature together to allow the reader to understand the impact we all have. His diverse characters reflects different viewpoints, especially poignant to issues we are facing and having to deal with. Powers has a magical way of writing that few authors can achieve, making Playground one of his crowning achievements.
