Item Number: 3566
New York: W.W. Norton & Company, 2003.
First edition of this work which examines the history of infinity, focusing primarily on the work of Georg Cantor, the 19th-century German mathematician who created set theory. Octavo, original half cloth. Signed by David Foster Wallace on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket.
"Wallace + infinity: wonderful pairing! This is most exquisitely (and hilariously) original science writing. Wallace embraces the incompatibility of mathematics and prose and makes art from it. And it's a great story too" (James Gleick).
