Tesla: Man Out of Time (ISBN ) is a 2001 biography of Nikola Tesla by Margaret Cheney.
Tesla: Man Out of Time describes the life of Nikola Tesla (1856–1943), the Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist. Margaret Cheney's narrative details Tesla's childhood during the 1850s and 1860s in the then Austro-Hungarian Empire, his 1884 arrival in New York, becoming American citizen in 1891, his inventions and contributions to engineering, up to his death New York at age 86 during the middle of World War II in 1943. The book is focused largely on Tesla's personality and not his inventions.
