Born in Hungary at the dawn of the twentieth century, physicist and mathematician John von Neumann lived just over fifty years, but his contribution to science cannot be overestimated. Von Neumann played an important role in the creation of the atomic bomb, developed many of the principles of modern computer architecture, laid the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics and defined the essence of game theory.
In his truly fascinating book, Anagno Bhattacharya, a doctoral candidate in biophysics and a regular contributor to Nature and the Economist, paints a portrait of a thinker and visionary whose ideas were so ahead of their time that they are only now being truly realized. Describing von Neumann's life story and exploring the evolution of his scientific views, Bhattacharya shows how a combination of genius and unique circumstances helped one man embrace so many different fields of science and shape the face of the modern world.
