What Is The Mathematician About?

The premise of The Mathematician without spoilers.

A gifted mathematician realizes humanity is on a path toward environmental collapse and, dismissed by everyone, strives to demonstrate the danger. He creates a compact “black box” as proof, but the skeptics who once ignored him seize the device and misuse its revelations for their own ends.
