At the beginning of the 20th century, divers off the island of Antikythera came across this clocklike mechanism, which is thought to be at least 2,000 years old, in the wreckage of a cargo ship. The device was very thin and made of bronze. It was mounted in a wooden frame and had more than 2,000 characters inscribed all over it. The purpose and function of the machine remains a mystery; as does the identity of its creator. Told in Four Books, this epic tale sees Piper Negrüm discover the truth behind the legend.
