Mikhail Leonidovich Gromov is a French-Russian mathematician. He is a Professor at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques and New York University. During his outstanding career he has received many honors and prizes; most recently he was awarded the Abel Prize "for his revolutionary contributions to geometry." He is a prolific author with more than 150 scientific publications including 8 books.

"The book presents a wealth of knowledge with many fascinating quotes and stories illustrated by beautiful pictures. It gives as such a lot of inspiration and explores the kind of mathematics needed to understand ergo brains. If you expect an entertaining and educating, but also technical book on modern science and mathematics, in particular in understanding the mind then this book fills the bill." (Manfred Kerber, zbMATH 1433.00004, 2020)
