Pi (π)
Smart shut-in builds an implausibly powerful computer in an attempt to discern a pattern that is responsible for all things. He uses the golden spiral as evidence of such a pattern, and believes he will eventually take pi out to so many decimal places that such a pattern emerges there.
The psychological thriller aspect relates to what he experiences along the way, and how it ends. I have a theory about the ending, but no idea if it's an opinion shared by the creator or any others.
Not credited, but this is the real life story that clearly inspired the movie..
Only had time to skim it for now, but that sounds fascinating. Thanks!
I enjoyed the soundtrack too.
