Neverness is a science fiction novel by American writer David Zindell, published in 1988; it is based on a 1985 novelette entitled "Shanidar". Neverness concerns a far-future world where mathematicians have become a kind of caste or religious order, because of their abilities to do the calculations needed for space travel. It follows the deeds of Mallory Ringess, as he discovers secrets and strangeness in the Universe he inhabits. Amongst these are experiences with the science fiction equivalent of a goddess who was once a little girl and the discovery of immortals.
