Description

Billy Twillig, a mathematical prodigy, wins the first Nobel Prize ever awarded in mathematics. He is subsequently recruited to live and work with thirty Nobel laureates in obscurity underground. There, they collaborate on a secret scientific project: deciphering a mysterious transmission received from outer space, emanating from Ratner's Star. In this novel, Don DeLillo masterfully explores the world of future mathematics, weaving together elements of science, satire, and humour. The result is a thought-provoking and engaging read that delves into the mysteries of the universe. Ratner's Star is written in DeLillo's characteristic prose style, offering a unique blend of insight, wit, and intellectual curiosity.
