Who, in truth, was Nikola Tesla? A brilliant inventor, a prophet of science, or a solitary visionary misunderstood in his own time? This book offers a journey through the life and era of Nikola Tesla in an entirely new way, thoroughly examining Tesla’s autobiographical writings and essays using the lens of today’s science and medicine after a full century.
The author’s completely new perspective reveals Tesla not only as a visionary of electrical engineering, but also as an insufficiently recognised pioneer of several other branches of modern science. It also identifies a whole series of Tesla’s syndromes which, thanks to advances in medicine, we are only now beginning to understand better - conditions that gave him an advantage over other inventors, yet significantly complicated his relationships with people.
It introduces us to a genius burdened by childhood traumas and medical challenges, one who continually balanced between brilliant inventions and powerful inner struggles, and who, in old age, remained faithful to his vision regardless of the cost.
By unveiling the mind of the real man behind the myth, the book portrays a marvellously gifted and persistent, yet also vulnerable and misunderstood individual whose exceptional abilities helped shape the world we live in today.
"Rudan’s approach rejects easy polarity that has dominated Tesla literature for decades: the images of 'the sainted mystic' or 'the misunderstood eccentric'," writes Davies Adeloye, co-editor-in-chief of the Journal of Global Health Economics and Policy.
"Instead, he builds a multi-dimensional portrait that integrates Tesla’s neuropsychology, cultural background, scientific approach, and philosophical thought. The result is a work that reads like a fusion of scientific history, psychological novel, and philosophical essay."
