Everything and More - follows the descent and exploration of Georg Kantor through infinity.  The properties of infinity were avoided and left in a box through much of the development of mathematics. Kantor through his work developed a framework for dealing with infinities; are certain infinities larger than others, it turns out, yes.

Part journalism,  part math textbook, part biography and a writer’s narrative, the book doesn’t fit easily into a traditional genre, rather it satiates the need for context at various points through Kantor’s work on infinity.

The late David Foster Wallace, non-traditional as alway, with his analytic and whimiscal mind leads us through both the depression and mania of Kantor’s life.
