Morgan and Orson Welles. A rich array of illustrations - vintage and personal photographs, film stills, drawings and comic-book art - enhance the sense of time travel and parallel histories, as we read of a scheme to transmit wireless energy through the earth, of the electrocution of an elephant, of fortunes made and surrendered, and of the obsessions that propel a scientist seeking to transform the world and a director seeking to make a movie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OR Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781682192825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248","brand":"Michael Almereyda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42353067425973,"sku":"9781682192825","price":19.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ea08b1c8-6cf1-436e-9c01-99fbf8ece05d.jpg?v=1661843157","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/tesla-9781682192825","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
