Summary

“Proof by Induction” by José Pablo Iriarte, narrated by Wil Welcome, friends. I'm Wil Wheaton, and it's Story Time.I love a good quest. The hero's journey to find the golden fleece and bring it home has been a cornerstone of storytelling for all of recorded history for a reason. At some point in our lives, each of us will hear the call to adventure and set out on a quest of our own. A lucky few even manage to complete their quests, sometimes against incredible odds.Some famous quests are for knowledge, power, or even to save the world, but we are about to embark on a quest for something far more intimate, far more personal, and elusive: it is a quest for connection, and redemption. And it can only be found by Proof of Induction.
