Thank you.

Hi everyone! I am incredibly honored that Echoes of Genius: The Deep Surge was selected as your November BOTM.

I’ve always wondered: If Benjamin Franklin, the man who literally tamed electricity, woke up today and saw our modern energy monopolies, would he be impressed or would he be looking for a way to start a new revolution?

In my book, Ben isn't just a historical figure; he’s a man out of time who realizes the "Great Fluid" (electricity) has become a tool for corporate control. Teaming up with Dr. Piper Ronstaat (a Planetary Physicist at MIT), he has to use 18th-century grit to solve a 21st-century high-stakes conspiracy.

Mark your calendars for November! I’ll be popping in to discuss the science, the history, and the ethics of a world where energy is the ultimate weapon.

Can't wait until November? Let’s connect:
