I don't know if you can claim Tesla as the greatest genius, but then , does anybody deserve such a title. I first became aware of Nikola Tesla through a doco on tv late last century and became curious, hunted around and found a biography that had just been published called The Man Who Invented The Twentieth Century by Robert Lomas, a very interesting read and an eye opener as to the scope of his theories and inventions, can thoroughly recommend it as an insight to his talent for invention, to the way he was (mis)treated and ripped off by Edison and others and to his lack of entrepreneurial and financial skills. too busy thinking of more inventions and their uses to worry about money, except when he needed to finance more work. Tesla must surely be up near the top of the pile, at least of the industrial age, if not of all the ages.
