Science Fiction
Reality is never more unpredictable than when two
mathematicians are in love with the same girl, and can
change the world to get her.
Bela and Paul, two
wild young mathematicians, are friends and roommates, and
both are in love with Alma, Bela’s girlfriend. They fight
it out by changing reality using cutting-edge math. The
contemporary world they live in is not quite this one, but
much like Berkeley, California, and the two graduate
students are trying to finish their degrees and get jobs.
It doesn’t help that their unpredictable advisor Roland is
a mad mathematical genius who has figured out a way to
predict specific bits of the future that can cause a lot
of trouble…and that he’s starting to see monsters in
mirrors.
When Bela and Paul mess around with
reality, all heaven and hell break loose. Those monsters
of Roland’s were really there, but who are they?
This novel is a romantic comedy with a whole
corkscrew of SF twists from the writer who twice won the
Philip K. Dick Award for best SF novel.
