Everything and More: A Compact History of Infinity is a book by American novelist and essayist David Foster Wallace that examines the history of infinity, focusing primarily on the work of Georg Cantor, the 19th-century German mathematician who created set theory. The book is part of the W. W. Norton "Great Discoveries" series. Neal Stephenson provided an "Introduction" to a reissued paperback edition (2010), which Stephenson reprinted in his collection Some Remarks: Essays and Other Writing. Reviewers, including Rudy Rucker, A.W. Moore and Michael Harris, have criticized its style and mathematical content. Source: Wikipedia (en)
