The Man from the Future: The Visionary Life of John von Neumann (Ananyo Bhattacharya)
A disappointing book about a fascinating man, and also of much else, including Jewish success, the bogus exaltation of "marginalized voices," the fantasies of "Hidden Figures," and Alan Turing.

"This is a disappointing book. Not awful, but not good. The Man from the Future manages to take the life of the polymath John von Neumann and to make it dull, never giving us any real sense of the man, although we do get some sense of his accomplishments. Beyond that, it’s filled with bad history about ancillary matters, making the reader wonder about the veracity of core biographical matters. And worst of all, the author, Ananyo Bhattacharya, wastes our time by endlessly trying to shoehorn into von Neumann’s story fantasy contributions by supposedly marginalized people, who are unknown because they did nothing worth noting. All this turns what might have been an excellent book into a chore." . . .
