**Also an Academy Award–winning film starring Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly—directed by Ron Howard**
The powerful, dramatic biography of math genius John Nash, who overcame serious mental illness and schizophrenia to win the 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.

likely with a dose of fiction, embellishment, and omission.
Unfortunately his controvery is disappointing. Decimating. Disgusting.
Dysfunctional, and
No Diddy.. did he? No doubt.
For an experiment?
Maybe he was experimenting..
His sexuality..
But not for science as implied. He lied.
I was bonified horrified, mortified, and a few other fieds.
interesting one of his two sons is schizophrenic also.
he and his wife passed away on the nj turnpike.. they were riding in a cab without seat belts when the driver hit a guardrail and they were ejected. what kind of genius puts his life in someone else's hands and doesn't wear a seatbelt?
enjoy the movie, but don't let it trick you into the thought that he was any kind of hero.
