这是康威（Conway）最新传记《Genius at Play》的摘录，如果你觉得这个有意思，我强烈推荐去读读这本书。
This is an extract from the new biography of Conway, Genius at Play, which I'd thoroughly recommend if you found this interesting.
几年前的那篇愚人节文章提到过有一本传记，出版名为《Genius At Play: The Curious Mind of John Horton Conway》，作者是 Siobhan Roberts。我敢肯定那会是一本好书。
The April Fool's piece from a few years ago mentions that there is a biography, which was published as "Genius At Play: The Curious Mind of John Horton Conway" by Siobhan Roberts. I'm sure that would be a good read.
……去普林斯顿听了几场，简直太神了。他一开始有点站不稳，因为身体刚刚出了点小状况，但很快就进入了状态。我强烈推荐这本传记：Siobhan Roberts 写的《Genius At Play: The Curious Mind of John Horton Conway》，读起来超级有趣！[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbifold_notation [2] https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0604079
…Princeton to see a couple of them, and it was awesome. He was a bit shaky at first because he had just had a health scare, but he soon got into the swing of things. I would highly recommend the biography: "Genius At Play: The Curious Mind of John Horton Conway" by Siobhan Rob. It is a lot of fun!

这篇讣告出自 Siobhan Roberts 之手，她写过一本口碑极佳的康威传记《Genius at Play》（https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/22529392-genius-at-pl...）。就算你读过别的，我也强烈推荐这本。
This particular obituary is from Siobhan Roberts, who wrote a well regarded biography of Conway, "Genius at Play" (https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/22529392-genius-at-pl...). I recommend it highly, even if you have read others.
……20世纪中叶物理学界的大佬们。全书的叙事感出人意料地强，让我都想多和家人朋友写写这种长篇私人信件了。另外 Siobhan Roberts 写的康威传记《Genius at Play》[1] 也讲了个好故事。数学内容不多，但康威的个性和作者试图“管住”他的过程非常有意思。两本都推荐。有人能推荐点科普……
…heavy-hitters of mid-century physics. The format was surprisingly narrative, makes me wish I wrote as many personal longer-form letters with family and friends. Also Siobhan Roberts' biography of Conway, Genius at Play[1], told another great story. Low on math content but Conway's personality and the narrators attempts to corral it were quick fun. Both are recommended. Does anyone have recommendation for a popular-science…
