Fiction
A monumental, uproarious, and exuberant novel about the
search—for love, truth, and the meaning of Life With The
Internet.
The enigmatic billionaire
founder of Tetration, the world’s most powerful tech
company, hires a failed novelist, Josh Cohen, to ghostwrite
his memoirs. The mogul, known as Principal, brings Josh
behind the digital veil, tracing the rise of Tetration,
which started in the earliest days of the Internet by
revolutionizing the search engine before venturing into
smartphones, computers, and the surveillance of American
citizens. Principal takes Josh on a mind-bending world tour
from Palo Alto to Dubai and beyond, initiating him into the
secret pretext of the autobiography project and the
life-or-death stakes that surround its publication.
Insider tech exposé, leaked memoir-in-progress,
international thriller, family drama, sex comedy, and
biblical allegory, Book of Numbers renders the full
range of modern experience both online and off. Embodying
the Internet in its language, it finds the humanity
underlying the virtual.
Featuring one of the
most unforgettable characters in contemporary fiction,
Book of Numbers is an epic of the digital age, a
triumph of a new generation of writers, and one of those
rare books that renew the idea of what a novel can do.
Please note that Book of Numbers uses a
special pagination system inspired by binary notation: the
part number precedes the page number, and is separated from
it by a decimal point.
