Abstract

What would you do if you proved P=NP? If you publish it you might be rich and famous: : : in a world destroyed by cyber terrorists. If you don't publish it someone might beat you to it. Can you make money off of it? Matt Ginsberg's fictional book, Factor Man, grapples intelligently with this question. The premise is that someone (alias Factor Man) has proven P=NP and has a pretty good plan for how to (1) cash in, and (2) not create economic havoc.
