What is Asimov's Science Fiction 2011 No 2 about?
<body><p align="center"><b><b>CHAPTER ZERO</b><br><br><br>A HEAD FOR<br>NUMBERS</b><P>When I walked into Pierre Pica's cramped Paris apartment, I was overwhelmed by the stench of mosquito repellent. Pica had just returned from spending five months with a community of Indians in the Amazon rainforest, and he was disinfecting the gifts he had brought back. The walls of his study were decorated with tribal masks, feathered headdresses and woven baskets. Academic books overloaded the shelves. A lone Rubik's Cube lay unsolved on a ledge.<P>I asked Pica how the trip had been.<P>“Difficult,” he replied.<P>Pica is a linguist and, perhaps because of this, speaks slowly and carefully, with painstaking attention to individual words. He is in his fifties, but looks boyish—with bright blue eyes, a reddish complexion and soft, disheveled silvery hair. His voice is quiet but his manner intense.<P>Pica was a student of Noam Chomsky and is now employed by France's National Centre for Scientific Research. For the last ten years the focus of his work has been the Munduruku, an indigenous group of about 7,000 people in the Brazilian Amazon. The Munduruku are hunter-gatherers who live in small villages
