Description
Richard Powers' Orfeo plunges into the life of Peter Els, a seventy-year-old avant-garde composer obsessed with creating music that defies time itself. As he experiments with biohacking and musical patterns within a bacterial pathogen, Peter finds himself on the run from the modern security state, forcing a profound journey into his own past. Through encounters with his ex-wife, estranged friend, and daughter, he confronts the peaks and valleys of his life and art, striving for a restoration of what has been lost and the ultimate defeat of time. This novel is a powerful exploration of creativity, legacy, and the enduring human desire to transcend mortality through art.
