Hugo Gernsbeck was way ahead of his time.
Predicted fax machines, cell phones, and information exchange systems. IIRC. Check out his novel Ralph124c41.
Not the greatest writer, his characters were very one dimensional. However, the ideas were incredible.
The Hugo awards are named after him.
Thanks, very interesting fella
A HEAD, I see what you did there...
