Contributed by Marco Abate

A (possibly successful, if I may say so myself) attempt of telling a story involving some real mathematics (chaotic dynamical systems) and believable mathematicians, and touching on larger issues like responsability, friendship, the ownership of mathematical results, bad financial deals and hockey games.

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.
