Title: Any Resistance Would Be Futile - Jenny Colgan - 2018 - book
Summary :
"Luke is rather... withdrawn, as they say. He's not... he's just in his own world. A little distracted. A little weird. But for a mathematician, not so much, actually."
A mathematician excelling in a male-dominated field, Connie has always been considered a bit of an oddity. But never more so than Luke, who was recruited to work alongside her on a top-secret codebreaking project.
But Luke seems to know more about the mysterious code than Connie and her colleagues. While everyone wonders about his connection to this encrypted message of unknown origins, their employer is killed in a... peculiar way, and the Secret Service gets involved. Connie discovers that Luke may not be who he claims to be, but their confinement awakens something inside her... The timing couldn't have been worse, now that the two scientists are caught up in a frantic race to save... Earth.
“I never thought I would enjoy a book about math, amphibians, and the end of the world. It’s original, funny, and romantic. And you don’t even need to be an expert on fractals.” Sophie Kinsella, author of The Shopaholic
“It's very rare that I fall so deeply in love with a book... Brilliant, charming, intelligent, funny and moving.” Rowan Coleman , author of Before I Forget You
“An explosive cocktail of action, math geeks, and passionate kisses. I savored every page of this book.” Matt Haig , author of Humans
“Science fiction with decent female characters!” MadmoiZelle
Editor's note:
Sprinkled with geek references, this hybrid novel between science fiction and chick lit, The genre that made Jenny Colgan famous, gives pride of place to characters as colorful as they are endearing. Self-deprecation is very present, as are the clichés about scientists, dismantled one after the other. The tone is offbeat and resolutely original: cynical humor, light romance, and accessible mathematics, the perfect combination for a bold, breathtaking, and hilarious novel.
