Interesting in part because there's many almost-Nobelists - people who reasonably could have been given a Prize, but didn't get it because of politics, bad luck, the rule that only 3 people can be given the Prize, etc.
Those people have very different lives as a result. Not necessarily worse (or better), but radically different.
