360 Staff Pick: Logicomix
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.
