As illness unmoored his mind, his work pushed further into areas beyond human comprehension and control.With dazzling mastery, Benjam\u00edn Labatut weaves von Neumann's story together with the crises in physics at the beginning of the twentieth century and humanity's showdown with artificial intelligence a hundred years later.Innovative and disquieting, this book plunges us into the most profound questions of humanity, where reason teeters on the brink of chaos."}
