A dark, funny and irreverent thriller which explores the tensions between science and our primitive instincts, the mind and the body, reason and madness.
Tom has always seen himself as the personification of the boy on the front of his chemistry-set box. A brilliant mathematician and unnerving intellectual snob, he is also a social inadequate. But at least he has a girlfriend. Or did. Because Anna's missing, leaving nothing but an empty flat. Empty except for Tom's attempts to build an unusual 19th century camera. And Tom is still there, juggling his studies with secret freelance work on violent and pornographic software. As family and friends express concerns about Anna's whereabouts, we are drawn into the unique world of Tom's obsessions: Anna's sexual history, evolution, London and 19th century scientific papers, one of which he believes may revolutionise the understanding of time.
