Facts:
A. It is a graphic novel about the 'foundational quest' in mathematics, an endeavour to put mathematics on a secure footing in the first half of the twentieth century. The story is told via Russell's life and in Russell's voice, a central character in that story.
B. It counts noted computer scientist and author Christos Papadimitriou as a coauthour.
C. It was on my reading list for a long time.
Meaning:
I (in fact) made a number of beginnnings under this section, but found none of them satisfactory. The essence always seems to escape, much more so than for most other books. Read the book and make the meaning for yourself.
