Description or summary of the audiobook: In this powerful and dramatic biography Sylvia Nasar vividly recreates the life of a mathematical genius whose career was cut short by schizophrenia and who, after three decades of devastating mental illness, miraculously recovered and was honored with a Nobel Prize. 'How could you, a mathematician, believe that extraterrestrials were sending you messages?' the visitor from Harvard asked the West Virginian with the movie-star looks and Olympian manner. 'Because the ideas I had about supernatural beings came to me the same way my mathematical ideas did,' came the answer. 'So I took them seriously.' Thus begins the true story of John Nash, the mathematical genius who was a legend by age thirty when he slipped into madness, and who-thanks to the selflessness of a beautiful woman and the loyalty of the mathematics community-emerged after decades of ghostlike existence to win a Nobel Prize for triggering the game theory revolution. The inspiration for an Academy Award-winning movie, Sylvia Nasar's now-classic biography is a drama about the mystery of the human mind, triumph over adversity, and the healing power of love.
