Stephen Hawking was widely recognized as the world's best physicist and even the most brilliant man alive–but what if his true talent was self-promotion?When Stephen Hawking died, he was widely recognized as the world's best physicist, and even its smartest person. He was neither. In Hawking Hawking, science journalist Charles Seife explores how Stephen Hawking came to be thought of as humanity's greatest genius. Hawking spent his career grappling with deep questions in physics, but his renown didn't rest on his science. He was a master of self-promotion, hosting parties for time travelers, declaring victory over problems he had not solved, and wooing billionaires. In a wheelchair and physically dependent on a cadre of devotees, Hawking still managed to captivate the people around him—and use them for his own purposes. A brilliant exposé and powerful biography, Hawking Hawking uncovers the authentic Hawking buried underneath the fake. It is the story of a man whose brilliance in physics was matched by his genius for building his own myth.

A: Hawking, like Monroe, was appreciated by the public for his body and not necessarily for his mind. Is this why Hawking had pictures of the great movie star on the walls of his office in Cambridge? Hawking himself thought so. (page 346). Charles Seife's lucid account of Hawking's life and work is a wonderful study of how modern media and self promotion can transform gifted and complex human beings into easily identified symbols for those of us who have trouble with nuance and complexity. There's a lot of science in this book (much of it over my head), and it can be challenging to follow the author's decision to analyze Hawking's story by starting at end of his life and running the biography in reverse, rather like Hawking did with his interest in cosmic origins.I recommend the book highly to readers interested in science, in living against the odds, and the pitfalls of becoming the branded image of yourself created by media hype and self promotion.
