Carl Djerassi referred to 'Science in Fiction' as the form of literature in which he made his first compelling contribution in 1989 with 'Cantor's Dilemma.' Following the Nobel Prize-winning novel 'Cantor's Dilemma,' he published 'The Bourbaki Gambit' in 1993, which explores the passionate desire of scientists for recognition among their peers and questions whether collegiality and friendship among scientists are possible, or if jealousy, ambition, and the pursuit of success and financial gain dominate the scene. For years, both highly relevant novels have been out of print. For the new edition in a single volume, Carl Djerassi has written a summarizing foreword and has significantly revised 'The Bourbaki Gambit.'.
