The Glass Bead Game

Hesse's Nobel-winning novel about an austere intellectual order devoted to a synthesis-of-all-knowledge game. Hassabis calls it one of his favorite books of all time — fitting for someone whose whole career has been about formalizing the deep patterns connecting science, art, and play.
