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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Almereyda\u003c\/strong\u003e has written and directed fourteen feature films, most recently \u003cem\u003eCymbeline, Experimenter, Marjorie Prime, Escapes\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eTesla\u003c\/em\u003e.
