ADDITIONAL PRAISE FOR CLIFFORD A. PICKOVER

“Pickover inspires a new generation of da Vincis to build unknown flying machines and create new Mona Lisas.”

—Christian Science Monitor

“Pickover is van Leeuwenhoek’s 20th century equivalent.”

—OMNI

“Pickover is many things—scientist, scholar, author, editor, and visionary…”

—GAMES

“Salted with religious and nonreligious curiosities and conundrums, ranging from biblical oddities to the neuropsychology of time perception, all related with an attitude of mischievous irreverence. Pickover’s satirical approach energizes the book.… At its best, the book achieves a juxtaposition of cosmic relevance and intellectual whimsy.”

—Publishers Weekly

“The puzzles and vignettes Pickover introduces are entertaining enough to appeal to and hold a significant audience.”

—Booklist

“Pickover has published nearly a book a year in which he stretches the limits of computers, art, and thought.”

—Los Angeles Times

“Strange and beautiful, stunningly realistic.”

—Scientific American

“Pickover just seems to exist in more dimensions than the rest of us.”

—Ian Stewart, author of Does God Play Dice?
