An engrossing science fiction novelette spanning some of the most monumental events of the 20th century, and bringing together two of the most transformative figures of the era in art and science for a contest that could reshape history.

An alien time-traveler ensnared in Earth's 20th century plots her escape by changing humanity's fate, and not for the better. But her strange encounters with Marcel Duchamp and Albert Einstein take an unexpected turn when she realizes she's pregnant.

Reviews for Duchamp Versus Einstein

Duchamp Versus Einstein is a marvellously crafted amalgam of art, science and chess, surely no easy task. The tale weaves 20th-century history together with the thread of present-day human predicament. It's your move. A luminous game of chess between art and science that is played across the page with lethal precision. Deeply engaging, and cleverly weaves history and chess into a thought provoking tale! A thought-provoking read, and at the same time an expansion of chess endgame theory! Only Einstein could save an endgame with just a king against king and queen!
