Description: Author: Thomas A Bass Title: The Eudaemonic Pie Binding: paperback Size: about 5" x 8" Pagination: 324pp plus endmatter Published: Penguin, 1992 Condition: Very good; some light shelfwear; lower corner front cover creased slightly; bookstore "NEW" stamped on front page ISBN: 0140167129 Blurb (via OCR): Eudaemonic, meaning "conducive to happiness," is based on Aristotles concept that a life governed by reason brings happiness. The people youll meet in this book sought to live their lives accordingly. In The Eudaemonic Pie, a group of young 1970s computer enthusiasts, physicists, and sunny California intellectual riffraff use the laws of Newtonian mechanics to develop a complete microcomputer-cum-communications system for predicting where on a roulette wheel the bouncing ball would halt. Their goal: to use the gambling profits to finance their own scientific research, free of corporate and academic constraints. Like the best gonzo journalism, The Eudaemonic Pie tells a rollicking story of riotous characters, great wit, and outrageous consequences.
