What People Are Saying
More Praise
Larry Page: "I read this autobiography and just about cried at the end, because he's basically a failure. He couldn't fund his research, many of the great things he invented - people don't even know what they are today. And so I said, I don't want to be like Tesla, I want to have an easy time getting things out into the world and make a real impact."
