It is the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey; at one time or another, home to fourteen Nobel laureates, most of the great physicists and mathematicians of the modern era, and two of the most exciting developments in twentieth-century sciencecellular automata and superstrings.Who Got Einstein’s Office? tells for the first time the story of this secretive institution and of its fascinating personalities.
