"The Blind Geometer" is a 1986 science fiction story by American writer Kim Stanley Robinson. It was published by Asimov's Science Fiction.

Plot summary

Carlos Nevsky is a blind professor of solid geometry who discovers that his new colleagues are manipulating him for sinister purposes.

Reception

"The Blind Geometer" won the 1987 Nebula Award for Best Novella,[1] and was nominated for the 1988 Hugo Award for Best Novella.[2]

The Los Angeles Review of Books considered that the story "amply demonstrates Robinson’s hard-SF credentials".[3] Strange Horizons, however, felt that it was "ambitious but awkward", with an "uneven mix of perceptual philosophy and conspiracy thriller."[4]
