Kurt Godel's Incompleteness Theorems sent shivers through Vienna's
intellectual circles and directly challenged Ludwig Wittgenstein's
dominant philosophy. Alan Turing's mathematical genius helped him
break the Nazi Enigma Code during WWII. Though they never met,
their lives strangely mirrored one another--both were brilliant,
and both met with tragic ends. Here, a mysterious narrator
intertwines these parallel lives into a double helix of genius and
anguish, wonderfully capturing not only two radiant, fragile minds
but also the zeitgeist of the era.
