Who this is
“He co-invented calculus, designed binary arithmetic, and dreamed of settling arguments by computation — and he built a universe out of windowless minds that never touch, yet never fall out of step.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“Reality is made of infinitely many mind-like atoms called monads, each mirroring the whole universe, perfectly synchronized by God in the best of all possible worlds — because nothing, anywhere, is without a reason.”
