The MANIAC by BenjamÃn Labatut
informative
mysterious
tense

4.0
The MANIAC catalogs the life of John Von Neumann, arguably the most naturally intelligent person to ever live, through the people who knew him best. In typical Lebatut fashion, Von Neumann's life story is told in an ostensibly biographic, but highly editorialized way. Lebtatus explores the depths of human intelligence and the unique mental torment seemingly found only by those scraping against the ceiling of our existence. There's also an interesting history of how AlphaGo (AI) defeated Lee Sedol at Go.
