Fra en af samtidslitteraturens mest interessante stemmer, forfatteren bag den anmelderroste bestseller Når vi ikke længere forstår verden, kommer en tour de force gennem den kunstige intelligens' veje og vildveje. Han er et enestående talent, matematikeren John von Neumann – banebrydende inden for kunstig intelligens og medskaber på Manhattan-projektet. Neumann er beundret og berygtet, en excentriker uden sidestykke, som har dannet blåtrykket til nogle af det 20. århundredes største videnskabelige gennembrud.Gennem et kor af Neumanns familie, venner, kolleger og rivaler tegner Benjamín Labatut et portræt af et kompliceret sind. Historien begynder i Neumanns barndomshjem i Budapest og slutter hundrede år senere i opgøret mellem Lee Sedol, den sydkoreanske mester i spillet Go, og AI-programmet AlphaGo. Et møde, som varsler AI's dominans og som legemliggør Neumanns mest ambitiøse, ufuldendte projekt: skabelsen af en maskine, der kan reproducere sig selv. En maskine, hvis intelligens kan udvikle sig langt ud over menneskets forstand og kontrol.MANIAC er en forbløffende forening af fakta og fiktion, en udfordring af vores forståelse af intelligens og bevidsthed og en undersøgelse af det paradoksale forhold mellem kontrol og kontroltab.

How Israeli universities collaborate in Israeli state violence against Palestinians

The basis of society in Arabia, especially in the south, was agriculture - cereals, aromatics and spices were produced and exported via the caravan routes which passed from Syria through Arabia to the Yemen. Thus Arab dishes are subtle, varied and exotic. The basic diet largely comprised, and still does, dates, rice, milk, goat or lamb meat and coffee.The patchwork of peoples and countries that form this medley comprise dishes from Egypt - some of the oldest recipes in the world such as melokhia, the famous soup of the Pharaohs. From Syria - an enormous range of vegetable salads. From Lebanon - sun-ripened fruits. From Iraq - date, hazelnut, mushroom and fig recipes. From Armenia and Kurdistan - the cracked wheat burghul dishes. From Cappadocia - the exotic flavors of sesame and tahini. From the Caucasus - the vast array of kebabs. From Assyria and Armenia - classic stuffed vegetable dishes - mahsi, and from Persia - yogurt dishes, fabulous rice dishes, sherbets and sweet and sour dishes.Incorporating the history, traditions, and techniques of these countries Arto der Haroutunian has assembled an unparalleled breadth of recipes representing the whole gamut of Arab cooking.

Den danske ambassadør i Bangkok, Franz Heimann, bliver fundet myrdet på et tvivlsomt sidegadehotel. Det thailandske politi afskriver mordet som et jalousi-drab, begået af Heimanns thailandske elskerinde, og det danske Udenrigsministerium skynder sig at feje den pinlige sag ind under gulvtæppet. En forsumpet dansk freelancejournalist i Bangkok opdager, at sagen forholder sig anderledes. Ambassadørens død viser sig at være en central brik i et terrorkomplot, der både implicerer den danske kongefamilie og USA's præsident. En hævnaktion der har sin egentlige årsag i vietnamkrigens grusomheder.Fortællingen giver også læseren et unikt indblik i Udenrigstjenesten på godt og ondt, sådan som forfatteren selv har oplevet det som diplomat for Danmark.
