For those who care about such things, I have a short story
online now at http://WouldThatItWere.com
This is a zine devoted to “Victorian” or historical SF. It’s
not totally where my passions lie, but I’m liking it more
and more…
Cheers,
Hal
Nice Hal.
(Don’t want to give too mcuh away)
So Edison only bought us a little? But what was Tesla’s fault?
In reality, how much is in this, I mean did Edison and Tulsa every really
work togther? I must admit I know little about thier personal histories.
Anyway, thanks for the good read, I got one of those nice smirks at the end
that sort of says “gotcha ya”.

cool, strangely enough this is not the first time I read some
steam-science-fiction with Tesla in it.
Hal, well this is

Actually, I have no idea what was going on behind the scenes. I figured
the reader’s imagination there was as good as mine.
In reality, how much is in this, I mean did Edison and Tulsa every really
work togther? I must admit I know little about thier personal histories.
I don’t know much either, but aside from the obvious fictional
elements, it’s pretty factual. They did work together when Tesla
was young. The Oregon incident is factual. Edison and Tesla
did have violent disagreements (where time has often proved
Edison to be wrong, e.g., favoring DC over AC). Tesla did leave
Edison after Edison cheated him (or so I’ve read).
Of course, half of what you hear about the man is myth anyway.

This is what? Take it to email, no one else is interested…

I do indeed, usually called “Meg.” She’s the brains of the
household.
Hmm, I should have that bio updated, it’s from the first story
I wrote for WTIW. The “upcoming book” that it mentions is
actually TRW, of course.

And on Laurie Anderson’s first record, United States Live (actually 4
records) she had a song called ‘Dance of Electricity.’ She introduced
the song with some info about Tesla vs. Edison and about how Edison
would travel around the country telling everyone about the evils of AC.
He would take a dog with him, would connect two leads to the dog’s ears
and turn on the current to show how easily AC could kill. I don’t know
if that’s true or not, but that’s history according to Laurie Anderson.
She goes on to say that the song’s bean is derived from a dance, ‘an
involuntary dance’ that you do when you finger goes into a light socket.
The actual music is contained on the next track entitled ‘Three Songs
for Paper, Film and Video.’
Not that this has anything to do with anything…

Edison was also responsible for electric chairs running on A/C, according to
‘Man Out Of Time’. Now that’s FUD.
Top story, Hal!
