Story
John von Neumann was a titan of science. A Hungarian wunderkind who revolutionized every field he touched, his mathematical powers were so exceptional that Hans Bethe—a Nobel Prize-winning physicist—thought he might represent the next step in human evolution. After seeking the foundations of mathematics during his youth in Germany, von Neumann emigrated to the United States, where he became entangled in the power games of the Cold War; he designed the world's first programmable computer, invented game theory, pioneered AI and digital life, and helped create atomic bombs.

Story
Una fascinante reflexión sobre el caos y la locura a partir de teorías científicas, expresiones literarias y experiencias personales. ¿Lo real está más allá de nuestro alcance? ¿La verdad y la locura son síntomas de la misma enfermedad? Labatut utiliza un cuadro del Bosco, el terror atávico de Lovecraft, la lógica radical de David Hilbert y la delirante iluminación que tuvo Philip K. Dick para hablar de la extraña textura que está adquiriendo la experiencia humana.
