FINAL UPDATE: Stormed through a few more questions! I'm signing off now. I've lurked and submitted stories to Reddit for around a decade and the questions didn't disappoint. Hope you enjoy the book should you decide to get hold of a copy! Thank you all and enjoy the rest of your holiday!

UPDATE: Thanks Reddit! I'm going to turn in now. Happy Thanksgiving for tomorrow if you're in the US. I'll try to answer any remaining questions tomorrow while you're tucking into roast turkey or whatever you're doing! You can find me on Twitter (https://twitter.com/Ananyo) (for now at least).

Hi Reddit! I’ve been a science journalist for almost two decades but 'The Man from the Future’' is my first book—and it’s now an Amazon science book of the year! I first came across JVN during a high school computer science class. We were learning about the von Neumann architecture, the standard design for almost all computers today. But his name’s come up repeatedly since then—even more so recently and in wildly different contexts. I knew right from the get-go I didn’t want to write a standard biography. Instead, I focus on his ideas, which helped seed the modern world. So please do ask me about Johnny, math, science journalism, writing books or pretty much anything. Cheers!
