The author, G. J. Chaitin, shows that God plays dice not only in quantum
mechanics but also in the foundations of mathematics. According to
Chaitin there exist mathematical facts that are true for no reason. This
fascinating and provocative text contains a collection of his most
wide-ranging and non-technical lectures and interviews. It will be of
interest to anyone concerned with the philosophy of mathematics, the
similarities and differences between physics and mathematics, and
mathematics as art.
