2. I've always had a fascination with Tesla.
Edited on Thu Jan-17-08 02:04 AM by Kutjara
I read a biography of him a few years back ("The Man Who Invented the Twentieth Century") that did a good job of describing both the man's towering genius, and his utter lack of political awareness. That old thief Edison played Tesla for a fool and made many promises he never kept. Tesla took much too long to see the writing on the wall, largely because he was too busy inventing things we still barely understand.
