Not an easy subject to write about and certainly not an easy one to get creative with, either, but Michael Brooks does so in a playful and innovative way. It's a re-imagination of the life of the Renaissance astrologer and mathematician Jerome Cardano, who played an important role in laying the foundation of quantum theory as we know it today by inventing what we call imaginary numbers, (the square roots of minus numbers).
