The Last Theorem is an Arthur C. Clarke science fiction novel co-written with author Frederik Pohl, with an anticipated publication date in 2008. [1] [2] The story is of a young Sri Lankan mathematician who finds a short proof of Fermat's Last Theorem and is hired by the CIA because of the high interest in cryptographic applications of the proof. [3]
Clarke said in 2007 that "The Last Theorem has taken a lot longer than I expected. That could well be my last novel, but then I've said that before". Just a few days before he died, on March 19th 2008, Clarke finished reviewing the final manuscript of the novel. ( "Last odyssey for sci-fi guru Arthur C. Clarke.". Retrieved on 2008-03-19. )
