| One character in this tome-sized political eco-thriller is Ashir al-Hasan. Ash, as he is called by friends, is a a government data analyst. Although he also appears to be "on the spectrum", he is not portrayed as being completely anti-social. For example, he has a crush on his sister's husband. However, his reactions to many things are not "normal" and I believe we are supposed to think of him as being overly-analytical. So, I consider him to be an example of the "unemotional mathematician stereotype" that often annoys me in fiction. Here, at least, it serves a greater purpose in that the reader can appreciate Ash's ability to remain calm and rational about the climate crisis when others around him appear to be unable to do so. |

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!
