- Synopsis
- This collectionof stories touches upon many genres: Normed Trek is a clever and wittyAlice-in-Wonderland-type narrative set in the realm of mathematical analysis, The Cantor Trilogy is a dystopia about theconsequences of relying upon computer-based mathematical proofs, InSearch of Future Time bears the flavor of Tales from Arabian Nights set inthe future, and - last but not least - Murderon the Einstein Express is a short, non-technical primer on probabilitiesand modern classical physics, disguised as a detective story. Written primarily for an audience with some background or a stronginterest in mathematics, physics and computer science (in particular artificial intelligence), these stories explore theboundaries between science and fiction in a refreshingly unconventional fashion. In the Afterthoughts the author provides some further insights and annotations.
