| Note: This work of mathematical fiction is recommended by Alex for hardcore fans of science fiction and literati. |
| A completely paralyzed mathematician receives congratulations from colleagues and other hospital visitors on the culmination of his research in a large scale physics experiment that is about to be conducted..but is incapable of telling them about his latest grave realization regarding its consequences.
It is a bit strange for me to refer to this story as "wonderful", since the tale it tells is horrific, but that is the word I would like to use. Perhaps I can say that it is wonderfully horrible, a masterfully created nightmare. |

Where are the new works of mathematical fiction?: As you can see from this chronological listing, this database includes many works of mathematical fiction for each year from 1990 to 2025. Strangely, only two are listed for 2026, so far. Either less mathematical fiction is being published than in previous years or I'm just having more trouble finding it. If you know of any works of fiction that should be added to this list, especially recently published ones, please let me know. (Keep in mind that I do not include self-published works or children's fiction that just covers elementary mathematical concepts.) Thanks!
