Yes that was me, but why would that matter?

Ted's brother David recently released a short book (~150 pages) about their life but there is so much to Ted's story which interests me but which isn't available. From the age of 27 until his mid-50s he lived such a tumultuous life, not only concentrating on his manifesto and socio-political theories but also attempting to find a romantic partner, making attempts to re-immerse himself in society, and a lot more that is barely mentioned in the articles which simply state he was a hermit for over two decades. I think there's a human story in there (I don't support what he did nor do I really support his thesis in whole) which would be interesting to tell. In the court documents for his legal case there is mention of an autobiography he himself wrote that was something like 250 pages in length. I'd love to find out what happened to this, why he felt compelled to write it, how early in life his feelings of alienation and so on began, and a lot more besides.

If he hadn't quit Berkeley there is strong evidence he would now be someone much respected in the world of Mathematics, and would have his own wikipedia, books and all the rest of it. His life not only went "off track" in a mundane sense (e.g. burnt out and taught math in highschool) he lived a life completely out of sorts with the late 20th century culture in which he lived. It's a fascinating story in my eyes, and I wish I could tell it in whole.
