Books of Interest

Inventor visionary Nikolai Tesla has been popping up in my mental wanderings recently.
1st he was in the film The Illusionist.

Then he is a presence in the new 1000 + pager by Thomas Pynchon Against the Day.

While in Newaygo MI I found Empires of Light. This is a 3 part story featuring Edison, Westinghouse and Tesla. Contrary to many think our household electricity which is AC is from Tesla not Edison.

Considering Tesla's larger than thought role I now have in hand a biography of him, which I look forward to.

Tesla not just a rock band but historical provider of AC electricity.
