| This story combines the familiar tale of Ada Lovelace meeting Charles Babbage and discussing his difference engine with that of a younger Ada conversing with a fairy about using mathematics to create wings that would allow a person to fly. In this version of their story, Babbage is interested in pure math but Ada only cares about math to the extent that it has applications, and it is implied that this difference between them is the "alchemy" which made their collaboration so successful. Published in Beneath Ceaseless Skies Issue #207, September 1, 2016. |

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!
