A FINANCIAL TIMES AND TLS BOOK OF THE YEARAn exhilarating new
biography of John von Neumann: the lost genius who invented our
world'A sparkling book, with an intoxicating mix of pen-portraits
and grand historical narrative. Above all it fizzes with a dizzying
mix of deliciously vital ideas. .. A staggering achievement' Tim

The vagaries of game theory and evolutionary
biology.Self-replicating moon bases and nuclear weapons. All bear
the fingerprints of one remarkable man: John von Neumann. Born in
Budapest at the turn of the century, von Neumann is one of the most
influential scientists to have ever lived.His colleagues believed
he had the fastest brain on the planet - bar none. He was
instrumental in the Manhattan Project and helped formulate the
bedrock of Cold War geopolitics and modern economic theory. He
created the first ever programmable digital computer.He prophesied
the potential of nanotechnology and, from his deathbed, expounded
on the limits of brains and computers - and how they might be
overcome. Taking us on an astonishing journey, Ananyo Bhattacharya
explores how a combination of genius and unique historical
circumstance allowed a single man to sweep through so many
different fields of science, sparking revolutions wherever he went.
Insightful and illuminating, The Man from the Future is a thrilling
intellectual biography of the visionary thinker who shaped our
century.
