Nine Minds: A book launch with Daniel Tammet
08 Jul 2024, 18:00 – 19:30
Nine Minds delves into the extraordinary lives of nine neurodivergent men and women from around the globe. From a Fields Medal-winning mathematician to a murder detective, a pioneering surgeon to a bestselling novelist, each is noted in their field and changing how the world sees those on the spectrum.
Exploding the tired stereotypes of autism, Daniel Tammet reaches across the divides of age, gender, sexuality and nationality to draw out the inner worlds of his subjects. This book of narrative nonfiction celebrates the power and beauty of the neurodivergent mind and the daring freedom with which these individuals have built their lives.
This in-person event will be particularly useful for neurodivergent members of our community here at UCL.
