| A short story based on the famous anecdote that Kurt Gödel found a logical flaw in the US Constitution while studying it to become an American citizen. But, this version of the story, in addition to featuring imagined dialogue between Gödel and Einstein, has a fictional twist ending.

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!
