Paperback. 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 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, 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. Las narraciones incluidas en este libro singular y fascinante tienen un hilo conductor que las entrelaza: la ciencia, con sus búsquedas, tentativas, experimentos e hipótesis. Por estas páginas desfilan descubrimientos que forman parte de una suerte de cadena perturbadora: el primer pigmento sintético moderno, el azul de Prusia, creado por el suizo Johann Jacob Diesbach; la búsqueda del Elixir de la Vida de Johann Conrad Dippel mediante crueles experimentos con animales vivos, entre otros. Y también asistimos a las exploraciones matemáticas de Alexander Grothendieck, que le llevaron a la mística, el rechazo social y la locura; a la famosa respuesta que Einstein le dio a Niels Bohr: «¡Dios no juega a los dados con el universo!»? Un libro magnético que se publicará en Alemania, Italia, Holanda, Francia, Inglaterra, Australia, Nueva Zelanda y Portugal. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Una novela vertiginosa sobre los límites del pensamiento y los delirios de la razón. Un inquietante tríptico sobre los sueños del siglo XX y las pesadillas del siglo XXI, MANIAC explora los límites de la razón trazando el camino que va desde los fundamentos de las matemáticas hasta los delirios de la inteligencia artificial. Guiado por la enigmática figura de John von Neumann, un moderno Prometeo que hizo más que nadie por crear el mundo que habitamos y adelantar el futuro que se avecina, en este libro Benjamín Labatut se sumerge en las tormentas de fuego de las bombas atómicas, en las mortíferas estrategias de la Guerra Fría y en el nacimiento del universo digital. La obra comienza con un disparo: en 1933 Paul Ehrenfest, físico austriaco y amigo íntimo de Einstein, acabó con la vida de su propio hijo antes de suicidarse, convencido de que el alma de la ciencia había sido corrompida por el mismo mal que impulsaba el surgimiento del nazismo. Algunos de los temores de Ehrenfest se hacen realidad en el personaje central del volumen, el matemático húngaro von Neumann, un ser dotado de un cerebro tan extraordinario que sus colegas lo consideraban el próximo paso en la evolución humana. Durante una meteórica carrera, von Neumann sentó las bases matemáticas de la mecánica cuántica, ayudó a diseñar las bombas nucleares, desarrolló la teoría de los juegos y creó el primer computador moderno. Al final de su vida, ya convertido en un engranaje clave del complejo industrial-militar, dio rienda suelta a un impulso creativo que lo llevó a contemplar ideas que podrían amenazar la primacía de nuestra especie: «Para el progreso no hay cura», dijo tras presagiar la llegada de una singularidad esencial, un punto de inflexión en la historia más allá del cual los asuntos humanos tal como los conocemos no podrían continuar. MANIAC culmina con la batalla entre un hombre y una máquina: Lee Sedol, gran maestro de Go, desafía al programa de inteligencia artificial AlphaGo en cinco agónicos juegos que sirven como advertencia sobre los retos a los que nos tendremos que enfrentar a medida que nuestras creaciones tecnológicas adquieran cada vez mayor independencia. Tras aquel fenómeno inclasificable que fue Un verdor terrible , MANIAC confirma a Benjamín Labatut como una de las voces más originales de la literatura contemporánea. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

This deceptively slim novel explores madness, divinity and scientific disco very -- and reads like the best of nonfiction. One of The New York Times Book Review's 10 Best Books of 2021 Shortlisted for the 2021 International Booker Prize and the 2021 National B ook Award for Translated Literature A fictional examination of the lives of real-life scientists and thinkers w hose discoveries resulted in moral consequences beyond their imagining. When We Cease to Understand the World is a book about the complicated links between scientific and mathematical discovery, madness, and destruction. Fritz Haber, Alexander Grothendieck, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger-- these are some of luminaries into whose troubled lives Benjamín Labatut thr usts the reader, showing us how they grappled with the most profound questi ons of existence. They have strokes of unparalleled genius, alienate friend s and lovers, descend into isolation and insanity. Some of their discoverie s reshape human life for the better; others pave the way to chaos and unima ginable suffering. The lines are never clear. At a breakneck pace and with a wealth of disturbing detail, Labatut uses the imaginative resources of fiction to tell the stories of the scientists and mathematicians who expanded our notions of the possible.

Softcover. Zustand: New. 1a.ed. 170x105 mm. Colección Nuevos cuadernos Anagrama, N.° 42. 71 p., Rústica. Sprache: Spanisch, NUEVO / NEU / NEW. 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.
