Les dernières inventions de Nathan Myhrvold et de son équipe -- aussi brillantes qu'audacieuses -- nous rappellent que le monde a besoin d'une créativité débridée pour s'attaquer aux gros problèmes comme la malaria. Et à peine l'idée commence-t-elle à s'installer , qu'il lance une démo en direct d'un machin à zapper les moustiques, il faut voir ça pour y croire !

Nathan Myhrvold is a professional jack-of-all-trades. After leaving Microsoft in 1999, he's been a world barbecue champion, a wildlife photographer, a chef, a contributor to SETI, and a volcano explorer. Full bio »
