| This novel, which has not received many good reviews and appears only to have been published in Britain, involves a math professor who is a terrorist for environmentalist causes. (That the author chose to make him a mathematician could be due to Ted Kaczynski, unfortunately a stereotypical mathematician to many authors). He intends to enact a plan code-named ``Dear Abbey'' (inspired by The Monkey Wrench Gang), but does not have the necessary mathematics. Consequently, he travels to the distant future to find it and along the way has some warm, fuzzy experiences that change his mind. |

Exciting News: The 1,600th entry was recently added to this database of mathematical fiction! Also, for those of you interested in non-fictional math books
let me (shamelessly) plug the recent release of the second edition of my soliton theory textbook.
