图书简介
The book starts with a conversation between John Nash, the mathematical genius, and a visitor from Harvard who questions his belief that extraterrestrials are sending him messages. Nash explains that his ideas about supernatural beings came to him the same way his mathematical ideas did, so he took them seriously. The book then goes on to tell the true story of Nash's life, including his groundbreaking work in game theory, which had a profound impact on economics and military strategy. However, Nash's exceptional intuition was also plagued by mental illness, specifically schizophrenia, which prevented him from advancing in his field. But with the help of his devoted wife Alicia and the support of the mathematics community, Nash overcame the hardships and eventually won a Nobel Prize. The book is a moving tribute to the power of human perseverance and the importance of love and support in overcoming adversity.
