In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: Very Good. From the author of When We Cease to Understand the World: a thrilling, kaleidoscopic book about the destructive chaos lurking in the history of computing and AI'Monstrously good. Reads like a dark foundation myth about modern technology but told with the pace of a thriller' Mark HaddonIn a scintillating mix of fact and fiction, The MANIAC tells of the dark foundations of our modern world and the nascent era of AI.At its core is John von Neumann, a titan of science who revolutionised fields from game theory to computer systems and helped develop the atomic bomb. As illness unmoored his mind, his work pushed further into areas beyond human comprehension and control.With dazzling mastery, Benjamin 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. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. 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. Siguiendo los caminos de la sinrazón, indaga en el descubrimiento del caos para tratar de extirpar la piedra de la locura que nos crece como un bulbo en la frente, a medida que el mundo toma formas en las que ya no podemos creer. En estos dos ensayos, el autor nos recuerda que, a veces, volverse loco puede ser una respuesta adecuada a la realidad, y que el precio que pagamos por el conocimiento es la pérdida de la comprensión. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

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.
