The language of 8-categories provides an insightful new way of expressing many results in higher-dimensional mathematics but can be challenging for the uninitiated. This book develops a new, more accessible model-independent approach to the foundations of 8-category theory by studying the universe, or 8-cosmos, in which 8-categories live.

Emily Riehl is an associate professor of mathematics at Johns Hopkins University. She received her PhD from the University of Chicago and was a Benjamin Peirce and NSF postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University. She is the author of Categorical Homotopy Theory (Cambridge, 2014) and Category Theory in Context (2016), and a co-author of Fat Chance: Probability from 0 to 1 (Cambridge, 2019). She and her present co-author have published ten articles over the course of the past decade that develop the new mathematics appearing in this book.
