"The Man from the Future: The Visionary Life of John Von Neumann" was published almost exactly five years ago! Over 100,000 copies and a dozen translations later, it is still wonderful to receive praise and endorsements like this one, from Stéphane Dalbera, physicist, computer scientist and founder of the trailblazing MoCap & 3D CGI firm Atopos. These words from the introduction feel more pertinent today than when I wrote them eight years ago! "The mathematical contributions von Neumann made in the mid- twentieth century now appear more eerily prescient with every passing year. To fully understand the intellectual currents running through our century – from politics to economics, technology to psychology – one has to understand von Neumann’s life and work in the last. His thinking is so pertinent to the challenges we face today that it is tempting to wonder if he was a time traveller, quietly seeding ideas that he knew would be needed to shape the Earth’s future... ...His views and ideas, taken up by scientists, inventors, intellectuals and politicians, now inform how we think about who we are as a species, our social and economic interactions with each other and the machines that could elevate us to unimaginable heights or destroy us completely. Look around you and you will see Johnny’s fingerprints everywhere."
