This is such a fascinating book! Especially the parts about Walter Pitts. He was a genius from a young age, IIRC he was sending letters to Bertrand Russell correcting his proofs when he was just a teenager. Very tragic story though. Severe mental illness kept him from having the career he deserved. Someone should make a movie about him.
