Benjamín Labatuts neuer Roman über John von Neumann, einen der genialsten und wegweisensten Denker des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er ist ein so bewundertes wie gefürchtetes Ausnahmetalent: John von Neumann. Vom frühen 20. Jahrhundert bis in die Nullerjahre reichend, erzählt MANIAC die Geschichte John von Neumann, der zunächst in Berlin und Budapest lebte und in den 30er Jahren vor den Nazis in die USA floh, der maßgeblich am Manhattan Project, dem Bau der US-amerikanischen Atombombe in Los Alamos, beteiligt war und durch seinen Computer MANIAC den Bau der Wasserstoffbombe ermöglichte und Vordenker für Künstliche Intelligenz war.

Bedbugs. Few words strike such fear in the minds of travelers. In cities around the world, lurking beneath the plush blankets of otherwise pristine-looking hotel beds, are tiny, bloodthirsty beasts just waiting for weary wanderers to surrender to vulnerable slumber. Though bedbugs today have infested the globe, the common bedbug is not a new pest at all. Indeed, as Brooke Borel reveals in this unusual history, this most-reviled species may date back over 250,000 years.

Putting It Together chronicles the two-year odyssey of creating the iconic Broadway musical Sunday in the Park with George. Through conversations between Lapine and Sondheim, as well as most of the production team, and with a treasure trove of personal photographs, sketches, script notes, and sheet music, the two Broadway icons lift the curtain on their beloved musical. Putting It Together is a deeply personal remembrance of their collaboration and friendship and the highs and lows of that journey, one that resulted in the beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning classic.
