书籍简介

摘自《当我们不再理解世界》一书的作者:这是一本令人兴奋的、千变万化的书，讲述了潜伏在计算机和人工智能历史中的破坏性混乱

“荒唐地好……读起来就像一个关于现代科技的黑暗基础神话，但却以惊悚小说《马克·哈登》的节奏讲述

《疯子》将事实与虚构结合在一起，讲述了我们现代世界的黑暗基础和人工智能的新生时代。

其核心人物是约翰•冯•诺伊曼(John von Neumann)，这位科学巨擘革新了从博弈论到计算机系统的各个领域，并帮助研发了原子弹。随着疾病的侵袭，他的作品进一步进入了人类无法理解和控制的领域。

Benjamín Labatut以令人眼花缭乱的精通，将冯·诺伊曼的故事与20世纪初物理学的危机以及100年后人类与人工智能的对决编织在一起。

这本书新颖而又令人不安，它将我们带入人类深刻的问题，理性在混乱的边缘摇摇欲坠。

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 Haddon

In 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, Benjamín 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.
