I just heard that Siobhan Roberts is writing a biography of Donald Knuth, and I couldn't be more thrilled. (May even come out this year!)

Have seen bits of her biographies of Coxeter and Conway, and they were very good.

Had been sort of expecting/hoping this, ever since she wrote this great profile (wow already 6 years ago): https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/17/science/donald-knuth-computers-algorithms-programming.html (https://archive.is/fPkcB)
