The Infinity Machine
£30.00Even by the standards of an industry stacked with so-called visionary leaders, Demis Hassabis is recognized as a special case.

Unlike many of his Silicon Valley peers, his goals are not money and power but scientific enlightenment. For the past several years, Sebastian Mallaby has had unprecedented access to Hassabis and DeepMind.
