Telsa Man Out of Time
What I'm reading.
I just finished up a biography on Tesla. The father of radio, alternating current, xrays, etc. Pure to the title, Telsa was a man out of time from the beginning to the end of his life. At the beginning, his concepts were so advanced and influenced so many, that he didn't receive credit (or money) for his inventions/theories. Others, like Edison (who valued an invention by the $$ potential it had) rolled not only in the money, but in the fame.
At the end of his life, as quantum physics and engineers pushed out the notion of general inventors, Telsa was a man who was running our of time, energy and money....who couldn't then deliver on even more fantastic theories.
