Peter Gobets, founder of The Zero Project, passed away just a few days before publication of The Origin and Significance of Zero, a book project to which he devoted many years of his life. It is a sad irony that he did not get to hold the final product in his hands.
I never met Peter face-to-face, but we exchanged correspondence for years, beginning in 2013 when he sent me a copy of his novel, A Guide For the Apoplexed, written under the pseudonym Herman Gnuticks. After that, Peter encouraged me to participate in the Zero Project by attending events and contributing a chapter to The Origin and Significance of Zero. He was full of energy and enthusiam and had a good sense of humor. It was startling, and very sad, to learn of his passing.
The co-editor of The Origin and Significance of Zero, Robert Lawrence Kuhn, has written a touching obituary that appears on the Brill Publishing website.
