Although obviously focused on his daughter, "The Martian's Daughter" [1] provides additional interesting insights into his life. What continually amazes me was his capacity to navigate large scale organizations and bureaucracy to achieve his objectives. I typically find smart people have high frustration with slow moving bureaucracy and for him, I can only imagine that it moved even slower. Perhaps this is how he could do small things like invent Game theory in the cracks between other projects.
