It seems redundant to write "Autobiography of..." and then the name of the Author, but - really, upon reading this I had the distinct feeling that I was cheated of a few hundred pages. In any even, this was written some 20+ years before his death, and before his reason became suspiciously abstracted.
Noting his childhood peculiarities, certain synesthete properties, his OCD, his sense of Childhood Invention and Inquiry frequently discouraged by parents and teachers, his experience of Crows after his repeated murdering of them, his realization that instinct transcends knowledge (but only when a certain remedial level of knowledge is reached, otherwise we arrive a peak Dunning-Kruger), the hyper-acuity of his senses, sight, hearing, body, and other more extra-sensory phenomena.
A curious childhood, but if we all could recall as accurately as he and were as encouraged (I know I previously said discouraged, but he was perhaps less discouraged than most of us) we might all lay claim to some such.
Then comes his genius, his subsequent exploitation by Edison - and, notice, he is careful in this not to slander he former employers or benefactors, upon reading his focus and obsession is always technology.
Noteworthy, he anticipates building a hydro-electric damn at Niagara Falls some 30 years before he was to do so, which recalls other such famous incidents: (the experience of Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn anticipating his singing at the ... Mosque, Nelson from Nelson picturing his perfect house as a child, Henry Sugar, The Secret, An Experiment with Time, too many other's to list...).
His unconscious method of turning from insurmountable problems to allow them to solve themselves "on their own" while he worked on other things, (mine own, although it took me some 20 years to perfect and I'm not sure now that I'm just not avoiding getting anything done) and his remarkably (for the time) democratic views on Race.
And finally, his ability to foresee the future - the interconnectedness of technology, of text, voice, picture, he's was an optimist working for the benefit of mankind, and - I have to wonder, if he could step forward a hundred years, how impressed he'd be with the progress we'd made, and the ends we put it to?
