La vita di Nikola Tesla è interessante tanto per la sua idiosincrasia quanto per la sua genialità. La mente dell'inventore non conosceva limiti e il suo incredibile senso di possibilità risuona nelle sue memorie. Questo autorevole volume di My Inventions include altri tre articoli di Tesla pubblicati sulla rivista The Electrical Experimenter e che rappresentano l'ampiezza dei suoi interessi: "Tesla avrebbe riversato fulmini dai dirigibili per consumare il nemico" (1916), "The Action of The Eye" (1893), "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy" (1900). Samantha Hunt, autrice di The Invention of Everything Else, contribuisce con un'introduzione alle opere di Tesla, separando i fatti dalla finzione (ci sono opere pubblicate che attestano che Tesla era un alieno), pur mantenendo il naturale timore reverenziale dell'eccentrica esistenza di Tesla.

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was born in Smiljan (modern-day Croatia). He emigrated to America in his youth and became a naturalized citizen in 1891. Tesla lived out the last ten years of his life at the Hotel New Yorker in solitude. He died in debt despite his numerous contributions and patents.
Samantha Hunt is the author of two novels, including The Invention of Everything-about an imagined period in Tesla's life- which was shortlisted for the Orange Prize. She lives in Tivoli, New York.
