Add a CommentEh, not for me. I know it's about Tesla but it's not about Tesla. Found this disappointing.
[Update: A connection between President Donald Trump and Nikola Tesla? Absurd you say? After the death of Tesla, the US gov't rushed in and confiscated all his personal papers, which they then handed over to a professor of engineering with MIT, named John G. Trump, uncle of the future president of the USA! Wonder if those still classified papers included his Death Ray??? Remember the Tunguska Event?]
What a truly marvelous (and short at 142 pp.) book, although presented as fiction, it is simply the most accurate biography of Nikola Tesla (called Gregor in this novel) you'll find. (My still all-time favorite recounting of Tesla, though, is Jill Jonnes' Empires of Light, where the historian, Ms. Jonnes, presents the most well-rounded and respectful portrayal of the true genius of Tesla). Great book, though!
