El 1 de octubre de 1958 se puso en marcha la primera agencia espacial civil del mundo como respuesta de emergencia al lanzamiento del Sputnik por parte de la Unión Soviética un año antes. En una década, la National Aeronautics and Space Administration, universalmente conocida como NASA, pasó de estar integrada por unos modestos equipos de investigación que experimentaban con pequeños cohetes adaptados a convertirse en una de las empresas tecnológicas y de gestión más grandes de la historia, capaz de llevar personas a la Luna a bordo de cohetes gigantescos y de enviar robots exploradores a Venus, Marte y mundos mucho más lejanos.A pesar de ocasionales y trágicos reveses en la historia de la NASA, el programa Apolo sigue simbolizando la inventiva estadounidense, sus transbordadores espaciales lideraron la construcción de la Estación Espacial Internacional y su deslumbrante conjunto de satélites astronómicos, módulos de descenso y programas de geociencias han transformado nuestra comprensión del cosmos y del frágil lugar que ocupa en él nuestro mundo.A lo largo de los 60 años de historia de la NASA, las imágenes han desempañado un papel fundamental. ¿Quién no está familiarizado hoy con las fascinantes imágenes del universo que nos brinda el telescopio espacial Hubble o con las nítidas panorámicas de Marte enviadas por los vehículos de exploración espacial de la NASA? ¿Y quién podría olvidar las fotografías de los hombres caminando por la superficie lunar?Este volumen compacto está basado en nuestro libro XXL, documentado y editado en colaboración con la NASA, y reúne cientos de fotografías e imágenes renderizadas poco conocidas que han sido escaneadas y remasterizadas con la última tecnología.

From one of contemporary literature’s most exciting new voices, a haunting story centered on the Hungarian polymath John von Neumann, tracing the impact of his singular legacy on the dreams and nightmares of the twentieth century and the nascent age of AIBenjamín Labatut’s When We Cease to Understand the World electrified a global readership. A Booker Prize and National Book Award finalist, and one of the New York Times’ Ten Best Books of the Year, it explored the life and thought of a clutch of mathematicians and physicists who took science to strange and sometimes dangerous new realms. In The MANIAC, Labatut has created a tour de force on an even grander scale.A prodigy whose gifts terrified the people around him, John von Neumann transformed every field he touched, inventing game theory and the first programable computer, and pioneering AI, digital life, and cellular automata. Through a chorus of family members, friends, colleagues, and rivals, Labatut shows us the evolution of a mind unmatched and of a body of work that has unmoored the world in its wake.The MANIAC places von Neumann at the center of a literary triptych that begins with Paul Ehrenfest, an Austrian physicist and friend of Einstein, who fell into despair when he saw science and technology become tyrannical forces, it ends a hundred years later, in the showdown between the South Korean Go Master Lee Sedol and the AI program AlphaGo, an encounter embodying the central question of von Neumann's most ambitious unfinished project: the creation of a self-reproducing machine, an intelligence able to evolve beyond human understanding or control.A work of beauty and fabulous momentum, The MANIAC confronts us with the deepest questions we face as a species.
