1984 (Nineteen Eighty-Four)
What if freedom was a thoughtcrime—and your own mind betrayed you? In a suffocating world of perpetual war and omnipresent surveillance, Winston Smith dares to keep a forbidden diary, cling to forbidden love, and whisper the ultimate rebellion: 2 + 2 = 4. But as the Thought Police close in and reality itself bends to the Party’s will, one question chills the bone: If even your memories can be rewritten, what becomes of truth—and does defiance doom you, or make you human?

A Brief History of Mathematical Thought: Key concepts and where they come from
What if the very numbers that built civilizations also whispered humanity’s deepest existential riddles?

But as Heaton traces the arc from stone-age counting to Gödel’s paradoxes, a haunting question emerges: What if the language we invented to master reality is the same one that could unravel our grasp of truth itself?
