Dr. Mark Zachary Taylor, formerly a solid-state physicist, now specializes in S&T politics and policy, political economy, the American presidency, and comparative politics.

I don't know if it's even the most controversial prize this year. A lot of people think that giving the physics prize to AI doesn't seem very appropriate.

Other contenders include Bob Dylan's literature prize and Barack Obama's peace prize.
