I saw this book on a table at a Borders and I wanted a book to take traveling, so I decided to try it. I’m glad I did!
This is a very nice novel. It weaves mathematics, archeology, computer theory and a near-future time into a fabric of love and loss. I’m going to see if this author has any more books on Amazon! I actually got to use Gödel at work the other day (someone suggested that we could provide a complete set of rules for architectures….).
