Author Information

Owner of 'the most remarkable mind on the planet,' (according to the US's Entertainment Weekly), a 2007 poll of 4,000 Britons named Daniel Tammet as one of the world's '100 living geniuses'. He has captivated readers and won worldwide critical acclaim with the New York Times bestselling memoir, BORN ON A BLUE DAY and its vivid depiction of a life with high-functioning autistic savant syndrome, which has sold over half a million copies worldwide, and been translated into 18 languages.Tammet's second book, EMBRACING THE WIDE SKY, was also an international bestsller. Tammet's exceptional abilities in mathematics and linguistics are combined with a unique capacity to communicate what it's like to be a savant. His idiosyncratic world view gives us new perspectives on the universal questions of what it is to be human and how we make meaning in our lives. Tammet was born in London in 1979, the eldest of nine children. He lives in Paris.
