I Won A Book Giveaway

Recently, Rick Kleffel at The Agony Column generously offered a giveaway of Rudy Rucker's latest science fiction novel, Mathematicians In Love, and I just learned that I am a lucky recipient. Thanks! Rick summarizes the new book:

The characters in Rudy Rucker's 'Mathematicians in Love' (Tor / Tom Doherty Associates ; December 1, 2006 ; $24.95) don’t need no stinkin' calculators. They're math gods already, Berkely post-grads named Bela Kis and Paul Bridge. It's too bad they’re both in love with the same girl. But it's even worse that their adviser, Roland Haut, is sort of crazy and sort of a genius. He's calculated a method of predicting the future, but in both of these novels, math is the new nanotechnology (read: magic fairy dust) and the whole shebang come rapidly down upon their heads as God reveals herself and her plans for revision and the monsters in the mirror prove to be unpleasantly real. Dueling mathematicians are willing to change the universe in order to get the girl. High math and hi-jinks ensue.

Here is Rick Kleffel's in-depth review of Mathematicians In Love.

(Just in case you wondered just how geeky I really am, this sounds like a fun book!)
