Question: Who wrote the novel Us Conductors about the relationship between Leon Theremin and Clara Rockmore?
Context: The Superior Court of Santa Clara County is the California Superior Court for Santa Clara County, which includes the city of San Jose.  The doctrine of Corporate personhood in US law is commonly traced to the 1886 decision of the United States Supreme Court in Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad, which started in this court.  In August 2016, hundreds of clerks in the Santa Clara court system went on strike for better wages.  One striking clerk had been living in a homeless shelter since November 2015. The Art of the Theremin is the first official album by theremin virtuoso Clara Rockmore, and the only one released in her lifetime.  It was produced by Robert Moog and his first wife, Shirleigh Moog, and was released as an LP in 1977 by Delos International Records.  As with most of her live performances, she was accompanied minimally by her older sister, Nadia Reisenberg, on piano.  The 1977 Delos LP and 1981 Japanese Delos LP release were entitled "Theremin".  The 1987 Delos CD was titled "The Art of the Theremin". The Theremin Center for Electroacoustic Music was created in Moscow, Russia in 1992 by the group of musicians and computer scientists, under the leadership of Andrey Smirnov.  It was named for Leon Theremin - Russian inventor of the Theremin, one of the first widely used electronic musical instruments. Us Conductors is a debut novel by Canadian writer Sean Michaels.  Published in 2014 by Random House in Canada and Tin House in the United States, the novel is a fictionalized account of the relationship between Léon Theremin (also known as Lev Termen), the inventor of the theremin, and Clara Rockmore, the musician regarded as the instrument's first virtuoso player. Clara Augusta Jones Trask (née Clara Augusta Jones; pen names, Clara Augusta and Hero Strong; June 22, 1839 - January 2, 1905) was a popular 19th-century American writer from New Hampshire, with several hundred titles to her credit.  A dime novelist, she wrote in a variety of genres and styles.  In the 1895 edition of the "Granite Monthly" it was said that, "It is doubtful if any woman contributor to current periodicals has received larger returns for her work than has Mrs. Clara Augusta Trask, with the exception of those who own royalties on plays." Blondel's theorem, named after its discoverer, French electrical engineer André Blondel, is the result of his attempt to simplify both the measurement of electrical energy and the validation of such measurements.  The result is a simple rule that specifies the minimum number of watt-hour meters required to measure the consumption of energy in any system of electrical conductors.  The theorem states that the power provided to a system of N conductors is equal to the algebraic sum of the power measured by N watt-meters.  The N watt-meters are separately connected such that each one measures the current level in one of the N conductors and the potential level between that conductor and a common point.  In a further simplification, if that common point is located on one of the conductors, that conductor's meter can be removed and only N-1 meters are required.  An electrical energy meter is a watt-meter whose measurements are integrated over time, thus the theorem applies to watt-hour meters as well.  Blondel wrote a paper on his results that was delivered to the International Electric Congress held in Chicago in 1893.  Although he was not present at the Congress, his paper is included in the published Proceedings. Albert Glinsky (born December 9, 1952 in New York City) is an American composer and author.  His music has been performed internationally by soloists, ensembles, and dance companies.  His book, "Theremin: Ether Music and Espionage" won the 2001 ASCAP Deems Taylor Award, and is regarded as the standard work on the life of Leon Theremin.  In 2009 Glinsky was invited by the family of synthesizer pioneer, Bob Moog (who wrote the Foreword to Glinsky’s "Theremin"), to create Moog’s authorized biography, a project currently in progress. Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey is a 1993 documentary film directed by Steven M. Martin about the life of Leon Theremin and his invention, the theremin, a pioneering electronic musical instrument.  It follows his life, including being imprisoned in a Soviet Gulag, and the influence of his instrument, which came to define the sound of eerie in 20th-century movies, and influenced popular music as it searched for and celebrated electronic music in the 1960s. Zip-cord is a type of electrical cable with two or more conductors held together by an insulating jacket that can be easily separated simply by pulling apart.  The term is also used with optical fiber cables consisting of two optical fibers joined in a similar manner.  The design of zip-cord makes it easy to keep conductors that carry related electrical or optical signals together and helps avoid tangling of cables.  Typical uses include lamp cord and speaker wire.  Conductors may be identified by a color tracer on the insulation, or by a ridge molded into the insulation of one wire, or by a colored tracer thread inside the insulation.  Zip cords are intended for use on portable equipment, and the US and Canadian electrical codes do not permit their use for permanently installed wiring of line-voltage circuits. Clara Rockmore (née Reisenberg, March 9, 1911 – May 10, 1998) was a classical violin prodigy and a virtuoso performer of the theremin, an electronic musical instrument.  She was the sister of pianist Nadia Reisenberg.
