Publisher : “As brilliant and quirky as THE NAME OF THE ROSE, as mischievous and wide-raning….A virtuoso performance.”
THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
Three clever book editors, inspired by an extraordinary fable they heard years befoe, decide to have a little fun. Randomly feeding esoteric bits of knowledge into an incredible computer capable of inventing connections between all their entires, they think they are creating a long lazy game–until the game starts taking over….
Here is an incredible journey of thought and history, memory and fantasy, a tour de force as enthralling as anything Umberto Eco–or indeed anyone–has ever devised.
