內容簡介
內容簡介 亞爾特和娜歐蜜(咪咪)博洛索頓是父母雙亡的兄妹，從小相依為命，但他們對事情的看法卻有天壤之別。 亞爾特是終極的理性主義者，崇尚數學與計算，他認為人們面重大抉擇時無法做出正確的判斷，而這就是數學存在的意義； 娜歐蜜知道自己的哥哥是個數學天才，但她深知，數學不可能正確回答所有的問題； 亞爾特希望咪咪可以自由尋找愛情─唯一的前提是：要使用數學的邏輯與理性思考。 一切在遇到法蘭克後看似非常順遂─一個充滿浪漫幻想的夢想者，同時又剛好是數學家，完美的理性與感性之結合，但亞爾特始終無法苟同，他覺得法蘭克似乎隱藏了什麼，這卻讓他和咪咪的關係出現裂縫... 理性與感性是否無法取得平衡？這世界上真的有能夠解釋一切的邏輯嗎？在愛的問題中，唯有真心才是貫通一切的理論。 Meet Art and Mimi Brotherton. Devoted siblings and housemates, they’re bound together by the tragic death of their parents. They agree on not quite everything. Art thinks people are incapable of making sensible decisions, especially when it comes to love. That’s what algorithms are for. Mimi knows her brother is a mathematical genius, but thinks maths isn’t the answer to everything. When Mimi decides she needs more from life than devoting herself to her brilliant brother, she starts looking for love. But Art has a condition: that she find her soulmate using a strict mathematical principle. Initially, things seem promising. That is, until Mimi meets Frank: a romantic, spontaneous stargazer, and also a mathematician. But definitely not algorithm-approved. As Art’s mistrust of Frank grows, so do Mimi’s feelings, and the siblings’ relationship is tested to breaking point. Something about Frank doesn’t quite add up, and only Art can see it . . .
作者介紹
作者介紹 Kara GnoddeKara Gnodde was born in Johannesburg and raised on a diet of Dr Seuss and no TV. After graduating from the University of Cape Town, she joined Saatchi & Saatchi in London as a strategic planner - work that required head and heart, her favorite kind. She lived in Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore before settling back in the UK with her husband and three children. A discussion on the radio about a maths problem that could change the world, or perhaps just help keep her desk tidy, gave her a place to start The Theory of (Not Quite) Everything, her debut novel.
