    "As far as I know, Clifford Pickover is the first mathematician to write a book about areas where math and theology overlap.
    Are there mathematical proofs of God?
    Who are the great mathematicians who believed in a deity?
    Does numerology lead anywhere when applied to sacred literature?
    Pickover covers these and many other off-trail topics with his usual verve, humor, and clarity.
    And along the way the reader will learn a great deal of serious mathematics."
    -- Martin Gardner
    
    "Pickover's lively, provocative travel guide takes readers into the fascinating realm of mystic math,
    from perfectly strange numbers to fractured geometries and other curious nooks and crannies
    of ancient worlds and modern times."
    -- Ivars Peterson, Author of The Mathematical Tourist
    
    "Chock-full of mathematical treats, The Loom of God takes you on a trip which explores ideas
    in a totally non-threatening, enjoyable format. Entertaining and informative adventure
    of Pickover's fictional characters -- Theano and Mr. Plex
    -- bring to life such things as: the golden mean, spirals in hyperspace, the Inca quipus,
    string theory, the wild and diverse world of numbers.
    
    A must for the I-hate-math person as well as the mathematical explorer."
    -- Theoni Pappas, author of The Joy of Mathematics

    "Bucky Fuller thought big, Arthur C. Clarke thinks big,
    but Cliff Pickover outdoes them both."
    -- WIRED
    
    "A perpetual idea machine, Clifford Pickover is one of the most creative,
    original thinkers in the world today."
    -- Journal of Recreational Mathematics

  Seems like a system created to appear to be God's work.
  So many mathematical brains can't transition to non math.
  The topics look interesting. Never know when that one person can unlock the secrets.
