360 Staff Pick: Logicomix

Studio 360
The World

Graphic nonfiction achieves a new level of elegance in a very rarefied subject: the career of Bertrand Russell -- mathematician, philosopher, and educator -- and his search for the logical foundation of mathematics. Against the backdrop of two world wars, Russell tries to argue for humans to base their behavior on reason; but the cruelty of his fellow logicians gives the book its skeptical edge.
