Eleven short stories from the exotic world of mathematics.

Some of the top authors in the genre write: Arthur Clarke, Larry Niven, Gregory Benford, Robert Heinlein, Rudy Rucker, Greg Egan, Martin Gardner, Armin Joseph Doitsch, Henry Gross, George Zimbrofski, and Alfred Bester.

Mathematics as a science reveals the rational foundations of our world and at the same time provides a basis for philosophical extensions. It was inevitable to fascinate Zeno, Abbott, and Borges, inspiring stories and thought experiments that examine our world from zero to infinity, from man to the universe.

Humor and drama, imaginative narratives and intellectual quests. The stories featured in this anthology offer us mathematical wordplay, topological labyrinths, geometric adventures: a man trapped in a two-dimensional country; a student who must find a way to escape an agreement with the devil; a war with aliens fought exclusively through the proof of mathematical theorems; a train that disappears from its tracks; and what do we do when our spaceship's computer breaks down.
