Summary of Ananyo Bhattacharya's The Man from the Future

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 Johnny von Neumann was a brilliant mathematician and scientist who was born in Budapest in 1903. He was the first of three sons born to Miksa and Margit, educated, well-to-do parents who were plugged into the city’s dazzling intellectual and artistic life.

#2 The First World War would precipitate the downfall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The von Neumann brothers were held as enemy aliens in Vienna at the start of the war, but their father was able to have their place of internment officially moved to Budapest.

#3 The von Neumann brothers were intellectual prodigies. They both developed systems that they believed would inevitably lead to a win, but they lost consistently against their father even as teenagers.

#4 Max’s sons would participate in the business dinners that their father hosted. These guests would ask the boys questions about the companies in which their father was investing, and they would share their opinions.
