The Liar's Paradox
Courtesy of Henning M. Lederer
On the brink of the Austrian Civil War, wunderkind Kurt Gödel and the quixotic Vienna Circle resist Fascism with … abstract logic? By using math to separate truth from lies, they become a target for the fascists. Their esoteric work transforms into a survival story, as they stumble onto the greatest proof of the 20th century and leave a legacy that ranges from computers to emojis.
