A (partly) fictional retelling of how some real-world mathematicians and scientists came across their discoveries which reshaped or otherwise shed light on concepts foundational to humanity.
Still not sure how I feel about this book - while well written, I often got fixated on figuring out what was truth and what was dramatized or outright fiction. If you can look past that easily, this would be an excellent read.
