Cass Seltzer, an atheist dubbed 'the atheist with a soul,' becomes a celebrity after his book unexpectedly sells well. He finds himself in a spiritually intense romance with a game theory expert, while also reconnecting with a former girlfriend who is pursuing immortality through biochemistry. Cass is also influenced by his mentor, a literary scholar obsessed with messianism, and a young mathematical genius from a Hasidic sect. These encounters reinforce his belief that religious impulses extend into all aspects of life, exploring the ongoing tension between faith and reason through fiction.
