Produktbeschreibung
A company elaborates in great secrecy a project, vital to its very survival. As the project develops, it leads the protagonists far beyond the originally envisioned simple business strategy, and brings them close to the forefront of the physical laws governing the behavior of the universe. Two intrigues intertwine... will they meet? Or do they form the single-sided face of a Möbius strip? This is a scientific thriller, accessible to everyone, without mathematics, and also a novel which will make the reader feel like deepening the exciting concepts shaping this story. Fascinating concepts such as chaos, entropy, isomorphisms, artificial intelligence, emergence, and strange loops invite themselves discreetly, although in a determinant way, into the fictional landscape and the plot. The almost miraculous relationship between mathematics and our physical universe shapes almost all of our daily gestures. This novel could have been the product of a "naive bet" trying to explain this miracle by means of a thriller intended for everyone and without mathematical or physical formulas. Still this book attracted some comments, among others, from renown mathematicians: "This book is as unexpected as a UFO and refreshing..." Cedric Villani (Fields Medal 2010) "I really liked the book Goebius' Strange Model.This novel is fascinating and I read it in one go...". Etienne Ghys, Research Director CNRS, ENS Lyon (Perpetual Secretary of the French Academy of Sciences, Member of the Scientific Council of Education). Such comments, coming from personalities of such statures, make the author believe not only in their caring simplicity, but also that the "naive bet" was not lost.
