Mathematical Genius, Severe Paranoid Schizophrenia, and a Nobel Prize Triumph

At age twenty-one, mathematical prodigy John Forbes Nash Jr. authored a revolutionary paper on game theory that transformed modern economics and cold war strategy. Shortly after his brilliant rise at Princeton and MIT, Nash fell victim to severe paranoid schizophrenia, spending decades in mental institutions and wandering the Princeton campus in obscurity.

Journalist Sylvia Nasar chronicles Nash's dramatic illness, the unwavering devotion of his wife Alicia, and his miraculous recovery culminating in the 1994 Nobel Prize in Economics.
