Where Isaacson truly humanizes Einstein is in his unflinching examination of his personal relationships. The biography reveals a man who struggled with intimacy and could be cold, even cruel. His first marriage to Mileva Marić, a fellow physicist, is portrayed as a tragic partnership of intellectual collaboration turned sour. Isaacson deconstructs the popular theory that Marić was a secret co-author of relativity, instead showing that while she was a sounding board, the core ideas were uniquely Einstein’s. More damning is his treatment of his wife and sons—his affair with his cousin Elsa, and his near-abandonment of his younger son, Eduard, who suffered from schizophrenia.
