Madness or genius?
This is the key question to understanding the life and legacy of Walter Russell. In 1921, waking from a 39-day state of trance, Russell transcribed the hidden laws of the universe into notebooks. He sent these lines to the brightest minds of the era; 499 mocked him, and only Tesla intuited the same secrets. "Hide them for a thousand years," Tesla said, "humanity is not ready yet." Madmen and Geniuses takes you into the pages of those notebooks, into the vibrating light of the stars, and into the darkest corners of the human soul.
Throughout the novel, you will witness the journey of an artist, a scientist, and a visionary: from the dusty shelves of oblivion to the present day, and from there to the brink of the apocalypse. This book is not just a biography; it is also the story of humanity's effort to find its own rhythm again. Because Russell's words still echo in our ears today: "The universe is a thought." Now it's your turn. Open these pages, listen to the rhythm. Perhaps you are the one who will discover the boundary between madness and genius.
