Book of the week Dunkle Zahlen

Matthias Senkel, "Dunkle Zahlen" (Matthes und Seitz, Berlin 2018)

Moscow 1985: The International Programming Spartakiade keeps the country's academic elite on their toes. Here, aspiring mathematicians compete in the techniques of the future, which seems just a keystroke away. But the Cuban national team has disappeared without a trace shortly before the opening of the competition - and their resolute translator Mireya embarks on a breathless search through the foreign capital, which buzzes and flickers as if electrostatically charged. Architects and agents, poetic machines and even Stalin's shadow in the flesh come together in this wild and sometimes fantastical tale: a dazzling mosaic of the Soviet Union shortly before the momentous networking of the world. A novel as unpredictable as history itself.
