Synopsis

Publisher's description: "This is the fictional biography of a genius--a titan such as da Vinci and Galileo. The story is about Richard Anthony Hartnett, born in 1965, who went on to develop human brain computer interaction. Brains could be read, illnesses diagnosed, truth or lies clearly seen. The sick minds could be altered using colored light. The study of light led to light sculpture in every home. When he took a trip to the moon he developed large cave systems so that people could fly for exercise rather than use centrifuges for building bone and muscle mass. By 2025 they had explored out to Jupiter."
