From the author of When We Cease to Understand the World: a dazzling, kaleidoscopic book about the destructive chaos lurking in the history of computing and AIJohnny von Neumann was an enigma. As a young man, he stunned those around him with his monomaniacal pursuit of the unshakeable foundations of mathematics. But when his faith in this all-encompassing system crumbled, he began to put his prodigious intellect to use for those in power. As he designed unfathomable computer systems and aided the development of the atomic bomb, his work pushed increasingly into areas that were beyond human comprehension and control - and that threatened human destruction.In The Maniac, Benjamín Labatut braids fact with fiction in a scintillating journey to the very fringes of rational thought, right to the point where it tips over into chaos. Stretching back to early twentieth-century conflict over contradictions in physics and up to advances in artificial intelligence that outpace the human, this is a mind-bending story of the mad dreams of reason.

Named One of the 10 Best Books of 2023 by The Washington Post and Publishers Weekly ⢠One of Barack Obama's Favorite Books of 2023 ⢠A National Bestseller ⢠A New York Times Editor's Choice pick ⢠Nominated for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction âCaptivating and unclassifiable, at once a historical novel and a philosophical foray . . . Labatut is aÂwriter of thrilling originality. The MANIAC is a work of dark, eerie and singular beauty. â â" The Washington Post  âDarkly absorbing . . . A brooding, heady narrative that is addictively interesting. â â" Wall Street Journal From one of contemporary literatureâs most exciting new voices, a haunting story centered on the Hungarian polymath John von Neumann, tracing the impact of his singular legacy on the dreams and nightmares of the twentieth century and the nascent age of AI BenjamÃnÂLabatutâs When We Cease to Understand the World electrified a global readership. A Booker Prize and National Book Award finalist, and one of the New York Times â Ten Best Books of the Year, it explored the life and thought of a clutch of mathematicians and physicists who took science to strange and sometimes dangerous new realms. In The MANIAC , Labatut has created a tour de force on an even grander scale. A prodigy whose gifts terrified the people around him, John von Neumann transformed every field he touched, inventing game theory and the first programable computer, and pioneering AI, digital life, and cellular automata. Through a chorus of family members, friends, colleagues, and rivals, Labatut shows us the evolution of a mind unmatched and of a body of work that has unmoored the world in its wake. The MANIAC places von Neumann at the center of a literary triptych that begins with Paul Ehrenfest, an Austrian physicist and friend of Einstein, who fell into despair when he saw science and technology become tyrannical forces; it ends a hundred years later, in the showdown between the South Korean Go Master Lee Sedol and the AI program AlphaGo, an encounter embodying the central question of von Neumann's most ambitious unfinished project: the creation of a self-reproducing machine, an intelligence able to evolve beyond human understanding or control. A work of beauty and fabulous momentum, The MANIAC confronts us with the deepest questions we face as a species. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
