This is brilliant from any angle - whether you're coming to it with an interest in maths/literature overlap or just an interest in Borges.

In my recent adventures with mathematics, I keep hearing about Fermat's Last Theorem, but this was the first time I actually understood it... and realised why it has been considered so enigmatic!

Martinez's style is absolutely perfect for the topics that he's handling. I've only knocked a star off because some chapters he just forgets to mention Borges, even a little bit. Still fascinating!
