A writer and his daughter wander the ancient city at night, inspired by Joseph Brodsky, the Russian writer who loved the city in its cold, quiet season.
He conceived an early version of cyberspace and predicted the “technological singularity,” a tipping point at which machines would become smarter than humans.
In a stunning verdict, he was found not guilty of participating in the storied 1978 theft, retold in the film “Goodfellas.” Then he went to prison over a road rage incident.
