"Wizard" by Marc Seifer.
Marc Seifer’s Wizard is not merely a biography of an inventor. It is a psychological portrait of a man shaped early by loss, illness, and an uneasy relationship with the human world he longed to improve. From its opening pages, the book announces that Tesla’s genius cannot be separated from his suffering. The prose invites the reader inward, not toward machines and patents first, but toward memory, grief, and the private storms that formed his character.

When AI Listens Too Closely: The Hidden Human Cost of Digital Companionship. AI-Generated.
The Rise of AI in Everyday Life — and the Cost We Didn’t See Coming Artificial intelligence didn’t arrive with a bang. It slipped in quietly. First as a homework helper. Then a writing assistant. Then something people talked to late at night when no one else was awake. Today, AI answers questions, cracks jokes, offers advice, and sometimes pretends to listen. For most users, that’s harmless.
