My Inventions: The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla by Nikola Tesla
3.0
This is not an autobiography. This is a sloppy collection of excerpts penned by Nikola Tesla. He was unquestionably a genius in so many ways, whose life accomplishments we are all better off for.
He describes his mind as that of an automaton so frequently. The thoughts come through without his bidding. He's the victim of his great mind. It would literally enfeeble him, while it was working out the agonizing details of his various inventions.
He describes his frustrations with a group of representatives from Ford who approached him to study psychic phenomenon, but accurately sees that he foresaw the meeting and informed his secretary that it would take place. He missed the dialogue from the creator there.
I enjoyed it. It's not an autobiography, and it's barely coherent at times, but I'd feel bad perpetuating the mythos of a book that lets dummies feel smart. (i.e. me).
