Episode 81 - Benjamín Labatut, Author of The MANIAC and When We Cease to Understand the World
We're delighted to present our conversation with the remarkable Benjamín Labatut for Episode 81, in which we primarily discuss his 2023 non-fiction novel The MANIAC, its primary figure John von Neumann, the madness and magic of fiction, and the limits and future of science and the human mind.
Run, don't walk to buy Benjamín's two English-language books:
When We Cease to Understand the World
The MANIAC
Extra special thanks to Cameron Waller of Penguin Random House Canada (@cameronsbookshelf) for (a) putting us onto Benjamín's work in a personal way, and (b) making this conversation with Benjamín possible.
