Is Tetraktys readable by ordinary people, or is it for nerds in ancient Greek or computer science?
Tetraktys draws on real science and classical history. Readers of the novel, though, don’t need to sweat the details; they only need to appreciate what technology does for (and to) people. The novel contains only one equation and one sentence in ancient Greek. That said, one of my hopes in writing Tetraktys was to show that popular thrillers needn’t skimp on real substance in code-breaking or ancient history.
