The Game Theory
John von Neumann was a mathematician, physicist, computer scientist, engineer and polymath. He contributed a lot in different fields of modern computing and physics. He was aware of the threats that some of his discoveries posed to the planet: he helped teaching the world how to build nuclear bombs, in Los Alamos laboratories (US).
He lately invented the Game Theory now so useful in decision taking and behavior modeling for finance, biotechnology and marketing.
What we are creating now is a monster whose influence is going to change history, provided there is any history left.
