Gideon's impressive body of work serves as the foundation for multiple academic organizations, is frequently used in courses at all reputable institutions of education, and they have been translated into most languages. His four volume examination on Kitensian Dynamism is unrivaled, and presents the most thorough analysis of the subject to date. His scholarly eye has spanned the ages and presents searing insight into complex issues that have troubled less capable historiographers for ages.
His mononym is popularly theorized to be an affectation, but he has used it consistently for the entirety of his career. If it not his name, or a part thereof, he has never revealed otherwise; nor does he respond to any other appellations. Likewise, he has refused acceptance of any honorary degrees or titles. This rebuke of popular puffery caused no small amount of friction after the publication of his third book, The Sequence of the Sequence, but after multiple independent validations of his theories were issued, Gideon's place at the zenith of intellectualism was affirmed.
Gideon does not participate in public speaking, panels, or plenary events. He works alone, and publishes his works without fanfare.
