If we wanted to characterize this book in a single word, it would be "passion." The history of Metamathematics resembles a "human drama": genius mathematicians apply their methods over the ages to "dig" deeply into the roots of mathematics and challenge the limitations of their own science.

Mathematics is associated with formalism, perfection, absolute computation, complete regularity, completeness, and unquestionable certainty. Or is it? Does it align with randomness, enigma, and paradox?

The "king of Metamathematics," the eccentric Kurt Gödel, published his famous incompleteness theorem in 1931. The "father of computers," the genius Alan Turing, shocked the world in 1936 by presenting the first digital computer and his theory of uncomputability.

Today, in the footsteps of these two giants of the 20th century, the pioneering thinker Gregory Chaitin fundamentally shakes the foundations of mathematics and throws down the gauntlet to theorists by presenting the absolute symbolism of infinite complexity: the number Omega.

However, Hilbert's vision—wanting formalism to be the theory of Everything in mathematics—though it has reached a century of existence, still marks the path of many mathematicians. Yet, formalism is directed at machines, not at people—it is high time to recover from this affliction!
