This biography chronicles the life of the genius who tamed Niagara Falls, illuminated the Chicago Exposition, won the War of Currents against the powerful Edison, and dreamed of transmitting wireless energy to the entire planet. On the other hand, it also explores the labyrinths of an extraordinary mind: the visions that tormented him since childhood, the misophobia that forced him to wash his hands dozens of times a day, his strange relationship with pigeons, and the utopian dream of Wardenclyffe — the tower that was going to change the world and ended up ruining him.
