A story about this — 3 years ago
The third book on mathematical genius I’ve read. It’s heavier reading than both “Fermat’s Enigma” and “The Mystery of the Aleph”. But Nasar does a good job taking us through not only Nash’s life story, but his descent into madness. The reading gets a little slow at times and I found myself skipping some of the more detailed passages. But there are also unexpected gems, like the chapter on the FCC spectrum auction in 1995.
