מעצבן לאללה, עצוב להחריד, מעולה להפליא (ושונה לחלוטין מהטון הקיטשי של הסרט, תודה לאלוהי האתאיסטים)

challenging emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

3.0

I'm not a big nonfiction reader, and have no particular interest in maths, so I'm not quite sure what possessed me to pick this up but I'm glad I did! Not only is the life of Nash fascinating, but this book served almost like a history of maths and economics in the 50/60s, all of which was completely new to me and interesting. Did I get as much out of it as some would? No. But at least in audiobook format I was able to mainly follow along, and it gave me some stuff to think about for which i am grateful.
