The story explores the rise to fame and prominence of Nikola Tesla, a visionary inventor whose work ushered in the twentieth century. It's a story about the obsessive need to create and the isolating power of technology. It's a tragedy of Faustian proportions: Tesla dreamed of a world united through technology, the free distribution of energy, and liberation by the electrical age. However, at his death his apartment was raided by the FBI, and his works and writings covered up. And his dreams of an age of communications have been lost to an age of conspiracies.
