For most of his life, Stephen Hawking was confined to a wheelchair due to a rare motor neuron disease, but this did not break him intellectually. Some even believe that being freed from everyday worries allowed him to finally focus on research and calculations. Michael White and John Gribbin managed to maintain a balance between the two sides of the protagonist's personality and paint a verbal portrait of an indefatigable genius who knew no bounds.
