Does anyone know of a biography of Von Neumann? I've looked for one many times and never found any. It's like he was five different men – he revolutionized so many fields, any of which would have been an epic accomplishment. He was also the only one who immediately understood the significance and consequences of Gödel's incompleteness result, according to Goldstein's biography of that other genius.
Turing's Cathedral[1] is not a proper biography, but it's mostly all about Von Nuemann during the period where he worked on the early computer. I have read most of it while in the bookstore, and it's really good.
