Keen On? George Dyson: How The Builders Of Our Digital Universe Made A Deal With The Devil [TCTV]

Screen Shot 2012-03-19 at 9.10.31 AMThe technology book of 2012 may have just been published. The book is by George Dyson, it's called Turing's Cathedral: The Origins of the Digital Universe and its a sparkling history of the small team of scientists at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) who developed both the personal computer and the hydrogen bomb. Most of all, this is a book about John (Johnny) Von Neumann, the brilliant Hungarian mathematician who not only was the principal architect of our digital universe but also assembled the scientific team that built the foundations of the computer and the hydrogen bomb.
