Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. 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. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Paperback. Condition: New. Reprint. 188pp. Octavo. Pictoral wraps. "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 Book Award for Translated Literature A fictional examination of the lives of real-life scientists and thinkers whose 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 Schrödingerâ "these are some of luminaries into whose troubled lives Benjamín Labatut thrusts the reader, showing us how they grappled with the most profound questions of existence. They have strokes of unparalleled genius, alienate friends and lovers, descend into isolation and insanity. Some of their discoveries reshape human life for the better; others pave the way to chaos and unimaginable 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." - From the publisher.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. From the author of When We Cease to Understand the World: a dazzling, kaleidoscopic book about the destructive chaos lurking in the history of computing and AIJohn von Neumann was an enigma. As a young man, he stunned those around him with his monomaniacal pursuit of the unshakeable foundations of mathematics. But when his faith in this all-encompassing system crumbled, he began to put his prodigious intellect to use for those in power. As he designed unfathomable computer systems and aided the development of the atomic bomb, his work pushed increasingly into areas that were beyond human comprehension and control - and that threatened human destruction.In The MANIAC, Benjamin Labatut braids fact with fiction in a scintillating journey to the very fringes of rational thought, right to the point where it tips over into chaos. Stretching back to early twentieth-century conflict over contradictions in physics and up to advances in artificial intelligence that outpace the human, this is a mind-bending story of the mad dreams of reason. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Brossura Editoriale. Condition: Nuovo. 8vo, br. ed. pp.180. C è chi si indispettisce, come l alchimista che all inizio del Settecento, infierendo sulle sue cavie, crea per caso il primo colore sintetico, lo chiama «blu di Prussia» e si lascia subito alle spalle quell incidente di percorso, rimettendosi alla ricerca dell elisir. C è chi si esalta, come un brillante chimico al servizio del Kaiser, Fritz Haber, quando a Ypres constata che i nemici non hanno difese contro il composto di cui ha riempito le bombole; o quando intuisce che dal cianuro di idrogeno estratto dal blu di Prussia si può ottenere un pesticida portentoso, lo Zyklon. E c è invece chi si rende conto, come il giovane Heisenberg durante la sua tormentosa convalescenza a Helgoland, che probabilmente il traguardo è proprio questo: smettere di capire il mondo come lo si è capito fino a quel momento e avventurarsi verso una forma di comprensione assolutamente nuova. Per quanto terrore possa, a tratti, ispirare. È la via che ha preferito Benjamín Labatut in questo singolarissimo e appassionante libro, ricostruendo alcune scene che hanno deciso la nascita della scienza moderna. Ma, soprattutto, offrendoci un intrico di racconti, e lasciando scegliere a noi quale filo tirare, e se seguirlo fino alle estreme conseguenze.
