This book concerns not just the algorithms but the philosophy, history and mathematics ... Zellini recognises that the power of numbers to make realities is not just some philosophical contrivance but a defining feature of the modern condition with a history reaching back to antiquity
Michael Barany, Spectator
Full of interesting ideas, insightful and thought-provoking ... A stimulating book that perhaps leaves the reader with more questions than answers. That, in case you are wondering, is intended as praise
Tony Mann, Times Higher Education
