Reading your book right now and find it truly brilliant (I don’t know much about physics or maths, but still greatly enjoy it). I was particularly impressed by the chapter on the atom bomb, which also had a huge emotional impact on me.

My questions: What will you write about next? Do you have other books to recommend about “people from the future” or about the future in general? If so, which? Which (if any) other people from Europa that moved to the USA because of the Nazis should/could be studied more?

I would love to read your answers to these question if you find the time. Good luck with whatever you are up to, and keep up the great work!

Thank you so much. You're very kind! Writing this book really pushed me to my intellectual limits. And a lot of it was written during lockdown, when I was also trying to homeschool. So my brain was kind of fried. I'm writing a kids' science fiction novel at the moment but I'm also the primary homemaker right now so that's proving... distracting. Needless to say, writing about (relatively) obscure mathematical geniuses doesn't make you rich. I have another non-fiction book in mind but not sure if I can justify it financially. I won't say too much about it but in some ways it would be similar to 'The Man from the Future'--it follows the birth and influence of a scientific idea, and looks at the stories of all those involved and dissects how it came to be. Let's see...
