Review of 'My Inventions' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This book was great. Tesla talks about his inventions a bit, but he mostly tells some whacky stories from his childhood as well as anecdotes from his quite colorful life. He had some really interesting ideas about himself, life, and technology. I'm not sure I disagree with all of them either. Maybe we are all just automaton following a very complex set of rules. He's not the only super intelligent person to believe this. Stephen Wolfram (the guy behind Wolfram Alpha and Mathematica) wrote a tome on the subject.
Tesla predicted a lot of things about our current technology and the implications of worldwide near-instant communication; it almost makes me wonder if his more implausible sounding ideas actually have merit?
Maybe there is some form of the internet that can terraform, who am I to say?
