This book is a crash course on the life of Nikola Tesla, but only focusing on the facts and his creations. It gives a peek into how money can squash genius, and kind of made me hate Edison. After the walkthrough of Tesla's life, the author wraps it up with the concept that imagination is a more important trait than intelligence or wealth. I had no idea of the plethora of advanced concepts that Tesla dreamed up - from DC power to the Internet, eclectic cars to most likely the first contact with extraterrestrial life. Yet, he was practically ignored in history books. I'd like to get more into the psyche of the man, and will be looking for other books to get to know him better.
