Abstract
This story centers on Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing and their respective lives before
and during WWII. Their cirlce of colleagues and intellectual friends as well as their
personal relationships are at the center of the novel, even more than their work.
The novel is beautifully written, very literary and sometimes even fantastical. (FMS)
