The Mathematicians

A father spins a bedtime story that feels part myth, part science‑fiction, recounting how winged, green‑feathered beings from the star Sirius descended on Sardinia in 1985. These “An‑vils” are described as the universe’s greatest mathematicians—intelligent enough to shrug off bullets, bombs and even engineered germs. As the tale unfolds, humanity’s conventional weapons prove useless against the alien invaders, setting the stage for a clash of raw intellect versus human resilience.

The narrative then follows a brilliant psychiatrist named Knowall, who refuses to meet force with force. He devises a daring plan to flood the invaders with human emotions—love, hate, hope, fear—and watches the mathematical precision of the An‑vils unravel into chaotic civil war. Listeners are invited into a world where numbers and feelings collide, exploring what it means to be truly human when confronted by an alien logic that threatens to erase us.
