Ultrameta, a Fractal Novel (Paperback)
A novel exploring fractal geometry within modern urban chaos by Douglas Thompson.
Thompson’s narrative focuses on the metropolis as a site where biological and mathematical patterns converge. He uses the concept of infinite divisibility to interpret the social breakdown occurring in large cities. The book does not rely on traditional plot structures but instead builds its argument through this specific geometric lens. It is designed for readers who appreciate abstract thought experiments woven into fiction. The text avoids conventional storytelling in favor of a deeper investigation into how order and chaos coexist in urban spaces.
Published by Eibonvale Press in 2009, this work emerges from a period of heightened interest in complex systems and their application to social theory. It reflects the late twentieth and early twenty-first century fascination with finding mathematical order within apparent societal disorder.
