The Tree of Knowledge - by Daniel G Miller (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A murdered mathematician. A missing formula. A secret capable of controlling humankind.

When Princeton logician Adam Shaw receives a cryptic message from his dying aunt, his life is thrown into chaos...sending him deep into secret archives and ancient texts in search of an encoded mathematical framework known only as the Tree of Knowledge. Joined by brilliant game theorist Ying Koh and Martin Turner, a man who's spent thirty years running from its shadow, Adam discovers the Tree is more than just a formula: It's the formula. A way of predicting--and manipulating--human behavior at every scale, from a single conversation to an entire civilization.

And he's not the only one on its trail.

A secret society led by a charismatic visionary is already closing in--a woman who believes the Tree isn't just a weapon, but a solution to the chaos of human choice itself. Now ruthless operatives and true believers alike will kill to possess it, and Adam may be the only one standing in their way.

As the conspiracy spirals from Princeton to the highest levels of global power, Adam must crack the cipher and solve the mystery before the most powerful idea in human history falls into the wrong hands.

Because the most dangerous weapon isn't a bomb or a bullet. It's believing you're free.
