'The Man from the Future' Errata
With many apologies to those kind enough to buy the original Penguin hardback of 'The Man from the Future', there were errors which were corrected in all future editions, including the Norton hardback and paperback. I've published a list of corrections on my Substack at this link and will update if necessary.

of
Omul din viitor. Viața vizionară și ideile lui John von Neumann:
"O carte pe care n-am putut să o las din mâini. E mai mult o biografie științifică. Stilul de scriere este clar și concis.
În primul rând, John von Neumann a fost un matematician strălucit. Copil-minune, era adolescent când s-a alăturat marelui matemat" Read more of this review » |

quote
“Did von Neumann understand the potential of the machines he helped to invent? Yes, he did. In reflective mood in 1955, he noted that the ‘over-all capacity’ of computers had ‘nearly doubled every year’ since 1945 and often implied in conversation that he expected that trend to continue. His observations prefigure ‘Moore’s law’, named after Intel’s cofounder Gordon Moore, who predicted in 1965 that the number of components on an integrated circuit would double every year.”

“The truth was that von Neumann had been unhappy at the IAS for several years before his death. ‘Von Neumann, when I was there at Princeton, was under extreme pressure,’ says Benoît Mandelbrot, who had come to the IAS in 1953 at von Neumann’s invitation, ‘from mathematicians, who were despising him for no longer being a mathematician; by the physicists, who were despising him for never having been a real physicist; and by everybody for having brought to Princeton this collection of low-class individuals called “programmers”’. ‘Von Neumann,’ Mandelbrot continues, ‘was simply being shunned.”

“though the ENIAC had been designed by men, this gruelling, fiddly job of actually building it was almost exclusively the work of women, who laboured nights and weekends until it was complete.11 Buried in the project’s payroll records are the names of nearly fifty women and perhaps many more who were only listed by their initials.”
