  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Set both in a real and imaginary Manchester, Jeff Noon's story concerns a revolutionary lottery game that is engulfing the city in a tide of gambling fever. As a group of mathematics students look at the mind-numbing probabilities involved, they soon find more sinister realities. The Company has developed the nymphomation, and has the power to devour the city's dreams&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[In terms of the plot, I was pretty into this and finished it in a couple days.  It's use of math as a sort of abstract context for the story, combined with mazes and esoteric tradition (whooo the 60s avant-garde) made it exciting.  But that's about it, which I mean is ok, but it hasn't help my sort ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47639727">more...</a>]]></body>

Every time I just start scanning the pages, I get hooked, and start reading the whole thing cover to cover.

    <body><![CDATA[A science fiction book about probability and games of chance?  I never knew there was a writer so attuned to my own heart.  It was like watching the movie pi, which reminded me that I love math, especially when it's used for intrigue.
