Spying on My Dreams (2000)
Laurence Howard
...

Contributed by Laurence Howard, Ed.D.

In my second novel, Spying on My Dreams, my protagonist, a mathematician working for a computer game company, uses fuzzy logic to integrate Eastern and Western thought, and hence finds the meaning of his life.  The math discussions are accessible to anyone with a good high school background and includes diagrams.

The book currently is available only on Amazon; my publisher went bankrupt.  I recently completed my fifth novel and hope soon to find a new publisher who will distribute all my book

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.
