Description: This listing is for a nearly new hardcover copy of "PLOWING THE DARK" by Richard Powers. The publisher is Farrar, Straus and Giroux from New York, NY. The edition is a first edition hardcover printing from 2000. I believe that this may be new old stock version because there is no creasing to the spine, there is very little wear on the dust jacket/cover and the pages look untouched. It is an amazing hardcover first edition selection for an amazing science fiction story. (Please see photos for details or message me with any questions.) "In a digital laboratory on the shores of Puget Sound, a band of virtual-reality researchers races to complete the Cavern, an empty white room that can become a jungle, a painting, or a vast Byzantine cathedral. In a war-torn Mediterranean city, an American is held hostage, chained to a radiator in another empty white room. What can possibly join these two remote places? Only the shared imagination, a room that these people unwittingly build in common, where they are all about to meet. Adie Klarpol, a skilled but disillusioned artist, comes back to life, revived by the thrill of working with cutting-edge technology. Against the collapse of Cold War empires and the fall of the Berlin Wall, she retreats dangerously into the cyber-realities she has been hired to create. On the other side of the globe, Taimur Martin, an English teacher recovering from a failed love affair, is picked up off the streets in Beirut by Islamic fundamentalists and held in solitary captivity."
