When Billy Twillig, a genius adolescent, wins the first Nobel Prize
ever to be given in mathematics, he is recruited to live and work
in the company of thirty Nobel laureates in obscurity underground.
There, away from the rest of the world, this panel of estranged,
demented and lovable scientists work together on a secret
scientific project: deciphering a mysterious transmission received
from outer space, from just near Ratner's Star. Written in Don
DeLillo's characteristically mesmerizing prose, Ratner's Star is a
brilliantly observed, funny and deeply thought-provoking novel
which explores the mysterious, mind-blowing, mathematical world of
the future.
