Pero lo encontrará truncado al hallar el cuerpo sin vida de su padre, tirado en el suelo de su propio laboratorio. Johanna descubrirá que sus genes albergan secretos que le han ocultado toda su vida; tendrá que decidir entre la Decadencia y la muerte,no solo para sí misma, sino para toda la Humanidad; se enfrentará a la temible Agencia de Protección Genética, que defiende la inmortalidad por encima de cualquier cosa; se unirá a compañeros que comparten su misión y tratará de mantener, a lo largo de aventuras y desventuras en los bajos fondos de Chicago, sus ideales altruistas y su corazón sincero.

The Infinity Puzzle: Quantum Field Theory and the Hunt for an Orderly Universe
by Frank CloseSpeculation is rife that by 2012 the elusive Higgs boson will be found at the Large Hadron Collider. If found, the Higgs boson would help explain why everything has mass. But there’s more at stake-what we’re really testing is our capacity to make the universe reasonable. Our best understanding of physics is predicated on something known as quantum field theory. Unfortunately, in its raw form, it doesn’t make sense-its outputs are physically impossible infinite percentages when they should be something simpler, like the number 1. The kind of physics that the Higgs boson represents seeks to "renormalize” field theory, forcing equations to provide answers that match what we see in the real world. The Infinity Puzzleis the story of a wild idea on the road to acceptance. Only Close can tell it.
