What If You Had 2,000 IQ?

What if you had 2,000 IQ? Every textbook in one night. Japanese in a weekend. Twenty chess games at once, with your eyes closed. But a brain that fast burns through energy, and everyone around you suddenly feels painfully slow. You fix your dad's noodle stall in a minute, you crack one of the hardest math problems on Earth, and the whole world wants a piece of you. Then, on the biggest night of your life, live on stage, your little sister Mi goes missing, and you have enough left for just one more big thought. Along the way: real facts about reading speed, the Millennium Prize Problems, and why your brain is the hungriest organ you have.
