| 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. |

Exciting News: The 1,600th entry was recently added to this database of mathematical fiction! Also, for those of you interested in non-fictional math books
let me (shamelessly) plug the recent release of the second edition of my soliton theory textbook.
