Our latest Book Club choice is 'Playground' by Richard Powers. Richard won the Pulitzer in 2019, for his novel 'The Overstory' and his latest book is an epic tale told through three different stories, covering themes of AI, the environment and our shared humanity. Sara chats to Richard about his love and fascination with coral reefs, his writing processes and whether publishing a book gets any easier.
