I quite liked The Prestige.
But I think that was 'cus I just read a book, fiction, which was based around Tesla's stuff, but in the modern days. He's really really interesting, only reason he isn't as famous as Eignstine, is 'cus he invented a wireless way of getting power, and [some company] had just layed out a load of powerlines which would have been made redundant. And now, that technology works in labs and will probably be implimented in the next 10 years into most homes.

Eddison fucked him over some, which is shitty

I'm not sure what theory to that I like best, they're all awesome, it would make a brillient film.

Maybe, not sure.

I thought you might
part of the problem is that Eddison was an American, so they bigged him up more. Whereas Tesla was a cleverer eastern european type, which didn't do him any good ;-)

I have read about it, but not for some time. Interesting stuff

Yup, plus Eddison was in pockets of [I forgot his name, some rich guy, famous in the early 1900s, 'morgan' something?].
It makes me think "Wow, if he was 'round today".

he was the guy who invented the knife wasn't he?

Maybe, I can't remember, it was quite some time ago when I read the book.
