La quatrième dimension
by Rudy Rucker
La quatrième dimension a depuis toujours, mais singulièrement depuis le début du siècle, excité les imaginations les plus blasées. Qu'a t-elle à voir avec le temps ? Recèle-t-elle la clé d'autres univers ? A la fois mathématicien et auteur de science-fiction, Rudy Rucker propose ici un voyage peu ordinaire au pays de la quatrième dimension. Une vulgarisation originale, riche d'anecdotes, d'illustrations savoureuses et de problèmes délectables - avec leurs solutions ! En digne successeur de Lewis Carroll, il passe des "fantômes de l'hyperespace" aux trous noirs, et des voyages dans le temps aux théories physiques à onze dimensions, liant toujours les mathématiques les plus profondes aux exemples les plus quotidiens.

Rudolf "Rudy" von Bitter Rucker is a writer and a mathematician who worked for twenty years as a Silicon Valley computer science professor, and published a number of software packages. Rucker is regarded as contemporary master of science-fiction, and received the Philip K. Dick award twice. His forty published books include novels, collections, and non-fiction books on the fourth dimension, infinity, and the meaning of computation. A founder of the cyberpunk school of science-fiction, Rucker also writes SF in a realistic style known as transrealism. His 2006 *Mathematicians in Love* was an example of a transreal novel. His early cyberpunk four-book series was republished in 2010 as *The Ware Tetralogy*. Rucker’s 2007 novel, *Postsingular* was something of a return to the cyberpunk style, as was the 2009 sequel, *Hylozoic*, in which every object on Earth comes to life. Rucker’s autobiography, *Nested Scrolls*, appeared in 2011. Recent novels include *Turing & Burroughs*, *Return to the Hollow Earth*, and *Million Mile Road Trip*.
