Description or summary of the book: 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 and world acclaim. The inspiration for a major motion picture, Sylvia Nasar's award-winning biography is a drama about the mystery of the human mind, triumph over incredible adversity, and the healing power of love.
