This book revolves around the legendary puzzle called P vs. NP.

The puzzle is one of the most difficult intellectual challenges, yet the book has made it accessible so that following the proof is not too much more than playing Sudoku.

As a most celebrated math conjecture, the puzzle is naïve-looking and shortchangingly simple, yet its perplexing nature may long linger.

Being a puzzle within another however, the conjecture is not the ultimate subject. The book is in fact about the mystery P vs. NP is shrouded in, with a proof as the protagonist.

Unlike a piece of fiction, as one about the Holy Grail that has to somehow align with historical facts to create fabrication, this book uniquely demystifies a piece of history. We have a real puzzle. We have a genuine solution. We have authentic people and chronicles. And the mystery is what we are still living.

The book not only offers a settlement to P vs. NP, but also provides a comprehensive account of events tied to the fate of the mysteries, as well as a full and in-depth explanation, in and beyond the formal arena, as to why the conjecture is so hard.
