Well-titled story of the most undertold life story of the 20th century
I enjoyed the book, though some of the tangents into work done building on von Neumann's ideas felt long-winded.
I was a bit disappointed the author spent so much time on other people rather than von Neumann. A large part of the book is background on the science/current events of the time and discusses various other persons, whereas I wanted more of a biography focusing on von Neumann himself. There's not much discussion about his personal life or what he was really like, merely a summary of his work.
