Set in the early eighteenth century, this concluding volume of the Baroque Cycle explores the intersection of natural philosophy, alchemy, and the birth of modern economics. Stephenson weaves a complex narrative involving Isaac Newton and Daniel Waterhouse as they navigate the political and scientific upheavals of London. The work meticulously reconstructs the intellectual climate of the Enlightenment through a blend of historical fiction and speculative inquiry.
