What is it like to run alongside a beam of light? Albert Einstein pondered this thought at the age of sixteen—and from that moment on, the world would never be the same.

We live in Einstein's universe. From nuclear energy to fiber optics, technology, science, and our very lives evolve based on his theories.

So who was the man who could grasp the mystery of the world? What made him see beyond what all his contemporaries saw? And why did he become beloved by millions who didn't even understand his theory?

The author of the famous Steve Jobs biography compellingly reconstructs the life and personality of the man who not only marked the 20th century but also the future. He delves into the very essence of his genius: his inexhaustible curiosity, imagination, and revolutionary spirit. And he highlights, through his tumultuous journey, what may be his greatest legacy today: the quest for individual and intellectual freedom.
