Greek maths comic is surprise bestseller
- hegemonicon 17y agoYou have to love a comic that stars Kurt Godel as the villain...
- ngvrnd 17y agoUm... what? More of a villain than Bertrand Russell himself? I liked the vignette where Cantor was thrilled that Russell had destroyed set theory, as it fit into his current mental illness nicely.
- MikeCapone 17y agoAnyone here has read it? Would you recommend it?
- larryfreeman 17y agoI've read it. It's great. The focus on Bertrand Russell really worked for me as did the interesting facts about his family and some of the famous mathematicians of his day.
- ngvrnd 17y agoRead it, highly recommended. Loved it.
- rubymaverick 17y agoI've read it and I couldn't imagine anyone on HN NOT liking it.
- pgbovine 17y agohow much popular appeal do you think it has beyond the erudite geek audience? that'd be great if this thing went really mainstream!
- pbhjpbhj 17y agoI expected a graphic novel to be illustrated with ... a graphic!?

- simonista 17y agoCrazy. I just heard an absolutely glowing review of this from a friend less than two hours ago. He said it was one of those things he picked up just to see what it was and couldn't put down again until he'd finished it. And now it's on Hacker News. It's definitely going on my short list.
