Chasing after a theorem through the ages

I really enjoyed this book, it's like a thriller, chasing around the world through time to find the missing pieces to prove the theorem. For me the book might've gone a bit deeper on the different mathematical topics rather than just give a quick overview, but that would have made it way less appealing to a general audience so I totally understand the author here.
