Imagine algebra class meets The Hitchhiker 's Guide to the
Galaxy
Meet JJ, an unusual character with a unique vantage position
from which he can measure and monitor humanity 's progress. Armed
with a device that compels all around it to tell the truth, JJ
offers a satirical evaluation of our attitudes to numeracy and
logic, touching upon several aspects of life on Earth along the
way, from the criminal justice system and people 's use of language
to highway driving and modern art.
A collection of mathematically-flavored stories and jokes,
interlaced with puzzles, paradoxes and problems, fuse together in
an entertaining, free-flowing narrative that will engage and amuse
anyone with an interest in the issues confronting society today. JJ
demonstrates how a lack of elementary mathematical knowledge can
taint our work and general thinking and reflects upon the
importance of what is arguably our most valuable weapon against
ignorance: a sound mathematical education.
