Smartphones, nuclear warheads, moon bases, computers . . . all bear the fingerprints of one remarkable man: John von Neumann. Born in Budapest in 1903, he moved to America in 1930 and--in his work as mathematician, physicist, computer scientist, and engineer--became one of the most influential scientists of the century. Von Neumann was instrumental in the Manhattan Project and the design of the atom bomb; he helped formulate game theory, the bedrock of Cold War geopolitics and modern economic theory; he created the programmable digital computer; he prophesized the potential of nanotechnology; and, from his deathbed, he outlined a vision of artificial intelligence.In telling the story of Von Neumann's life and ideas, Ananyo Bhattacharya explores how a combination of genius and historical circumstance allowed one man to sweep through so many different fields of science, sparking revolutions wherever he went. The Man from the Future is a thrilling biography of a visionary thinker who shap

Vivid, surprising, and utterly timely, Akiko Busch's HOW TO DISAPPEAR explores the idea of invisibility in nature, art, and science, in search of a more joyful and peaceful way of living in today's increasingly surveilled and publicity-obsessed worldIn our increasingly networked and image-saturated lives, the notion of disappearing has never been both more enchanting and yet fanciful. Today, we are relentlessly encouraged, even conditioned, to reveal, share, and self-promote. The pressure to be public comes not just from our peers, but vast and pervasive technology companies, which want to profit from patterns in our behavior. A lifelong student and observer of the natural world, Busch sets out to explore her own uneasiness with this arrangement, and what she senses is a widespread desire for a less scrutinized way of life--for invisibility. Writing in rich painterly detail about her own life, her family, and some of the world's most exotic and remote places--from the Cayman Islands to

Often controversial, always inspired, Jacques Lacan here weighs theories of the relationship between the desire for love and the attainment of knowledge from such thinkers as Aristotle, Marx, and Freud. He leads us through mathematics, philosophy, religion, and, naturally, psychoanalysis into an entirely new way of interpreting the two most fundamental human drives. Long anticipated by English-speaking readers, this annotated translation presents Lacan's most sophisticated work on love and desire.
