Set against the backdrop of 1928, this book chronicles Kurt Gödel's groundbreaking journey in logic, highlighting his rapid rise to fame through his resolution of a pivotal problem in quantificational logic. By 1929, he extended his findings to arithmetic, leading to his renowned incompleteness theorem published in 1931. This theorem is celebrated as one of the 20th century's most significant scientific achievements, profoundly influencing formal language theories and algorithmic computability, which are foundational to the emergence of the information society.
