Stephen Budiansky

The first major biography of the logician and mathematician whose Incompleteness Theorems helped launch a modern scientific revolution.

The Life of Kurt Gödel

Journey to the Edge of Reason

Excellent book to read after the biography of von Neumann to grasp the zeitgeist of the era (at least in the mathematics world). At first, I thought for a biography the author is going way too far outside Gödel’s life, by describing the current environment in Vienna at the time, but now I think this was excellent to get a more deep understanding of the times, the Vienna circle and a lot of other related people. I can highly recommend this book, it is an excellent read on surely worth your time!
