Total eclipses of the Sun are rare and dramatic—and on April 8, 2024, one will cross the US. But when exactly will it happen? In this short but richly illustrated book, prominent scientist and computation pioneer Stephen Wolfram tells the triumphant and hard-won story—spanning more than two thousand years—of how science, mathematics and computation have brought us to the point where we can now predict the time of the eclipse to within one second. Learn how the problem of eclipses brought us some of the earliest exact science, the first known computer, contributions from many of the all-time greats of mathematics and physics, and critical technology for the space program. See how all this provides a clear, modern understanding of a phenomenon that has surprised and amazed throughout human history.

The complete trilogy in one volume: Tech-savvy resistance fighters battle a twenty-first-century fascist takeover that threatens the entire planet—and beyond . . . In the near future, Russia invades Western Europe, crisis envelops the United States—and a mercenary army overseen by power-hungry theocrats and authoritarians takes advantage of the chaos. But a band of resistance fighters, technologically skilled and as dedicated to freedom as they are to sex, drugs, and rock and roll, intend to do what needs to be done to save humanity from mass-scale genocide—including those humans living in the world’s first orbiting space colony . . . This volume includes Eclipse, Eclipse: Penumbra, and Eclipse: Corona Praise for The Eclipse Trilogy “[An] apocalyptic, pop-inflected, rock-driven vision.” —William Gibson, New York Times–bestselling author of Neuromancer “Hard to put down.” —The Washington Post “John Shirley’s prophet-in-the-cyberwilderness voice deserves high billing among the best.” —Roger Zelazny, Nebula Award-winning author of Nine Princes in Amber “A Goya-esque vision of war-torn western Europe, bombed out and unstable . . . from a resurgence of Russian militarism and the collapse of NATO.” —Publishers Weekly “A kaleidoscopic mix of politics, pop, and paranoia.” —Bruce Sterling, author of Heavy Weather “Chillingly plausible.” —Kirkus Reviews
