My Inventions is full of fascinating and sometimes bizarre stories. Tesla tells us how he narrowly escaped death on several occasions, traveled the world, rubbed elbows with celebrities, captains of industry and the greatest scientists of his time. In one particularly strange incident, Tesla describes being chased by a frantic mob in a case of mistaken identity. It’s difficult to find a more intriguing and strange autobiography.

There is also a chapter on the art of teleautomatics.
