El último teorema

The latest (posthumous) novel by one of the most brilliant science fiction writers, Arthur C. Clarke, written in collaboration with another great master of the genre, Frederik Pohl, addresses a world in which three great powers, United States, China and Europe find themselves doomed to a struggle for supremacy despite their desire to reach a peace. The most dangerous threat, however, comes unexpectedly from abroad, and the secret investigations carried out in search of a definitive weapon must then reorient themselves in the face of this external aggression, which may be the only thing capable of uniting them in a common project. Through the story of a young astronomer and mathematician obsessed with a theorem that seems to hold the secrets of the universe, Clarke and Pohl develop a shocking and compelling vision of what the future holds for humanity.
 

Sir Arthur C. Clarke was one of the great masters of science fiction In 1948 he finished his studies in physics and mathematics with honors, but beforehand he had published some short stories in specialized magazines, although his first works were signed under the pseudonyms Charles Willis and E.G. O'Brien. Books such as The Sands of Mars, Expedition to Earth, The End of Childhood, Tales of Ten Worlds or The City and the Stars endorse him as the narrator who has examined the future of space travel with greater competence and lucidity, but there is no doubt that 2001: A Space Odyssey, is his most famous work.
