迷人的作品……在一个又一个行业中,菲利庞写道,少数几家公司已经发展得如此庞大,以至于它们有能力维持高价格和低工资。这对这些公司来说是好事,但对几乎所有人来说却是坏事……很多时候,两党仍然将大企业的利益与国家利益混为一谈。而美国的家庭正在为此付出代价。 ——David Leonhardt,《纽约时报》专栏作家,普利策奖得主

【编辑推荐】 ★ 美国天才作家大卫·福斯特·华莱士罕见历史作品; ★ 睿智、深刻,充满娱乐性和可读性的无穷大概念史; ★ 一段挑战抽象之抽象,挑战想象力极限的旅程。 【内容简介】 要穿过一条街道,必须先穿过街道的二分之一;要穿过街道的二分之一,必须先穿过它的四分之一,要穿过四分之一,必须…… 自从芝诺提出二分悖论以来,“如何穿过一条街道”这个简单的问题竟然困扰了人类长达两千多年,薅秃了多少最顶尖的头脑,成为最抽象、最晦涩的数学概念。华莱士用自己标志性的奇思妙想、辛辣独特(絮絮叨叨)的文风,以及比正文还长的脚注,展现了这一段在街道中央徘徊的历史。他的文字如同无穷大这一数学概念一样,充满智慧。 【本书获誉】 “现代人驯服无穷大的迷人历史。” ——《纽约时报书评周刊》 “(华莱士)给他的书带来了令人耳目一新的对话风格,以及令人惊讶的数学权威性……一本成功的书。” ——美国学者约翰·艾伦·保罗 “令人震惊的可读性……对于枯燥的数学教科书和强调发现者而非发现本身的流行文化数学书籍来说,这都是一剂绝妙的解毒剂。” ——《书单》
