For some reason I thought this was going to be the life story of Nikola Tesla filled with math and logic; I was not expecting a tangent about baseball players and brain development.  This book was easy enough to read, but it seemed more like an essay about the importance of imagination and how without it the world wouldn't work, which is obvious enough.The most amazing thing about this book are Tesla's inventions and I really, really wanted more details about them; for example the first radio.  And I was also surprised about the war between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla and how no matter what, Tesla still managed to invent and find investors.  All that aside, there wasn't a scrap of information about Tesla himself; such as, did he get married?  Kids?  Personal beliefs?I do appreciate the author's clear admiration for Tesla, but I think it needed more historical fact.
