"This is a novel, but it is about a real proof claimed by Kurt Gödel, Einstein's closest friend. ... The shy Gödel feared ridicule. He probably told Einstein about his God Proof, but he told nobody else until 1970, and he never went public. After Gödel's death, his papers were found in careful order. We know what is missing and what is not. Everything was there, with two exceptions: the notebooks with his work on the God Proof."--P. [4] pbk. cover.
