Description
The Last Theorem marks the final work from one of science fiction's brightest stars. Arthur C Clarke completes his lifetime career with a masterwork that explores the intersection of humanity and technology.
In this epic novel, tensions between nations escalate as a UN taskforce prepares to bomb volatile regimes into submission. Meanwhile, a young astronomy student becomes obsessed with unlocking the secrets of the universe through an ancient theorem. As the world teeters on the brink of invasion, Clarke's characters must navigate the consequences of their actions and confront the unknown.
The Last Theorem tackles complex themes such as third world poverty, modern warfare, space elevators, and humanity's first contact with extra-terrestrials, all set against a backdrop of epic scope and prescient vision. Co-written with Frederik Pohl, this novel sets a new benchmark in contemporary science fiction.
