| The devil (who is not such a bad guy after all) seeks help from a quantum physics expert to fight off some aliens (who are not so evil either) that happen to disrupt the "Randomness Field". This disruption is used to explain many seemingly non-random occurrences (such as 20 car pileups and strange fashion trends) and has gotten so bad that a coin comes up tails every time even after repeated flips. The professor's solution to the problem is very Dirac-like.
This story is sure to upset religious fundamentalists and feminists because it is both heretical and displays the sexism of so many old SciFi classics. But, if you can avoid being bothered by either of those things, it is an entertaining comedy with just a bit of mathematics in it. Thanks to Paul Hafke for suggesting it! |

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!
