> Lots of good material here, but I was annoyed how the author chose to keep calling Von Neumann "Johnny". That's a bit like a biography of Richard Feynman in which the author almost always refers to him as "Dick" or "Ricky".
The funny thing is, Richard Feynman often referred to him as "Johnny von Neumann." See "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" for examples.
