Adapted from the co-authors’ original screenplay, this book blends fact and fiction to explore Nikola Tesla’s extraordinary influence on modern technology. Tesla invented the electric car and is credited with innovations for nearly 40% of the appliances we use today—including early concepts behind sonar, radio, lasers, ultrasound, and robotics. He also laid the groundwork for television, WiFi, smartphones, and even the Internet. Though history often remembers Tesla as a celibate, eccentric recluse, this book draws on exclusive access to non-public artifacts housed in the basement archives of the official Tesla Museum in Belgrade, Serbia—revealing long-buried inventions, intrigue, murder, and romance. Among the most astonishing discoveries: authentic sketches, notes, and incomplete schematics for a radio device allegedly capable of communicating with the past. (And yes, the book includes the historically accurate MacDonald/Eddy connection and Tesla’s ties to the movies Frankenstein (1931), Young Frankenstein (1974) and Citizen Kane (1941).)
