Genius. Visionary. Madman.

Nikola Tesla (1856--1943) was the
pioneering genius who invented the AC electrical system that powers our world
to this day, as well as radio, remote control, the automobile speedometer,
X-ray photography, the AND logic gate that drives all our computer systems, and
countless other devices and precursors to devices such as cell phones,
television, and the Internet that we so effortlessly use today.

Strikingly handsome and
charismatic, fluent in half a dozen languages, mathematics savant and master
machinist, a reed-thin perfectionist who quoted poetry like a Victorian rapper,
Tesla became one of the most famous men of his day. Friend of tycoons like John
Jacob Astor and Stanford White and celebrities like Mark Twain and Sarah
Bernhardt.

Yet Tesla was an intensely driven
and lonely man, beset by inner demons, and cursed with a protean inventive
imagination a century ahead of his time. He died in obscurity and poverty and,
to this day, his name is not widely known. How did that happen?

Blending historical fact with
speculative imagination, Lisa Mason explores the secrets of the Inventor’s
inner life and his obsession with Goethe’s Faust set against the backdrop of
sweeping technological changes at the turn of the twentieth century that have
forever changed the world.
