A science prodigy, Dr. Flanagan began inventing at age 8 and was only 13 when he invented the Neurophone, hoping to aid him in learning as he slept. By age 17, Patrick was featured in the 1962 LIFE Magazine issue, dedicated to America's best and brightest, in a feature story titled "Whiz Kid, Hands Down". He has since appeared in TIME Magazine, major national talk shows, countless articles and has spoken before international audiences about the Neurophone and his other inventions across the world. The NEO Neurophone is not a smart phone. Rather, the brand new 2015 NEO Neurophone is famed inventor Dr. Patrick Flanagan's profound time-tested techno-meditation device that uses blissful ultrasonic waves to soothe and center your mind and allow the possibility to make you smarter. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/neo-neurophone-n-neural-e-efficiency-o-optimizer The NEO Neurophone is the newest and most advanced model in a long series of Neurophones dating all the way back to the 50s when sci-fi was all the rage. Ultrasonic waves are extremely beneficial to the human brain. If you google "brain ultrasound", you'll see universities only just now catching on to how great ultrasonics are for the mind, while a child prodigy named Patrick Flanagan, only thirteen years old when THE FLY and ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN played as double features at the local Oklahoma drive-in, had already invented his first Neurophone. Since 1958, Dr. Patrick Flanagan and later his cutting edge company Phi Sciences that he founded in 1987, have been refining his profound Neurophone discovery, first inspired by a 1911 Hugo Gernsback science fiction tale about a sleep learning tool. Patrick's Neurophone impressed Hugo (for whom the prestigious Hugo Nebula Awards are named) deeply enough to extend a personal thank you to Dr. Flanangan for carrying out one of Gernsback's visions of the future, which included the prediction of television.

Herbert George "H. G." Wells (September 21, 1866 – August 13, 1946) was an English writer, now best known for his work in the science fiction genre. He was also a prolific writer in many other genres, including contemporary novels, history, politics and social commentary, even writing textbooks and rules for war games. Wells is sometimes called "The Father of Science Fiction", as are Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback. His most notable science fiction works include The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, The Invisible Man and The Island of Doctor Moreau. Wells's earliest specialised training was in biology, and his thinking on ethical matters took place in a specifically and fundamentally Darwinian context. He was also from an early date an outspoken socialist, often (but not always, as at the beginning of the First World War) sympathising with pacifist views. His later works became increasingly political and didactic, and he sometimes indicated on official documents that his profession was that of "Journalist." Most of his later novels were not science fiction. Some described lower-middle class life (Kipps; The History of Mr Polly), leading him to be touted as a worthy successor to Charles Dickens, but Wells described a range of social strata and even attempted, in Tono-Bungay (1909), a diagnosis of English society as a whole. Herbert George Wells was born at Atlas House, 46 High Street, Bromley, in the county of Kent, on 21 September 1866. Called "Bertie" in the family, he was the fourth and last child of Joseph Wells (a former domestic gardener, and at the time a shopkeeper and professional cricketer) and his wife Sarah Neal (a former domestic servant). An inheritance had allowed the family to acquire a shop in which they sold china and sporting goods, although it failed to prosper: the stock was old and worn out, and the location was poor. Joseph Wells managed to earn a meager income, but little of it came from the shop and he received an unsteady amount of money from playing professional cricket for the Kent county team. Payment for skilled bowlers and batsmen came from voluntary donations afterwards, or from small payments from the clubs where matches were played. A defining incident of young Wells's life was an accident in 1874 that left him bedridden with a broken leg. To pass the time he started reading books from the local library, brought to him by his father. He soon became devoted to the other worlds and lives to which books gave him access; they also stimulated his desire to write. Later that year he entered Thomas Morley's Commercial Academy, a private school founded in 1849 following the bankruptcy of Morley's earlier school. The teaching was erratic, the curriculum mostly focused, Wells later said, on producing copperplate handwriting and doing the sort of sums useful to tradesmen. Wells continued at Morley's Academy until 1880. In 1877, his father, Joseph Wells, fractured his thigh. The accident effectively put an end to Joseph's career as a cricketer, and his subsequent earnings as a shopkeeper were not enough to compensate for the loss of the primary source of family income. Wells's first non-fiction bestseller was Anticipations of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress Upon Human Life and Thought (1901). When originally serialized in a magazine it was subtitled, "An Experiment in Prophecy", and is considered his most explicitly futuristic work. It offered the immediate political message of the privileged sections of society continuing to bar capable men from other classes from advancement until war would force a need to employ those most able, rather than the traditional upper classes, as leaders. Anticipating what the world would be like in the year 2000, the book is interesting both for its hits, trains and cars resulting in the dispersion of population from cities to suburbs; moral restrictions declining as men and women seek greater sexual freedom; the defeat of German militarism, and the existence of a European Union and its misses he did not expect successful aircraft before 1950, and averred that "my imagination refuses to see any sort of submarine doing anything but suffocate its crew and founder at sea Some of his early novels, called "scientific romances", invented a number of themes now classic in science fiction in such works as The Time Machine, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The Invisible Man, The War of the Worlds, When the Sleeper Wakes, and The First Men in the Moon. He also wrote realistic novels that received critical acclaim, including Kipps and a satire on Edwardian advertising, Tono-Bungay. Wells also wrote dozens of short stories and novellas, the best known of which is The Country of the Blind (1904). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mr. Britling Sees It Through audiobook H. G. WELLS Mr. Britling Sees It Through H. G. WELLS (1866 - 1946) "Mr. Britling Sees It Through" is H. G. Wells' attempt to make sense of World War I. It begins with a lighthearted account of an American visiting England for the first time, but the outbreak of war changes everything. Day by day and month by month, Wells chronicles the unfolding events and public reaction as witnessed by the inhabitants of one house in rural Essex. Each of the characters tries in a different way to keep their bearings in a world suddenly changed beyond recognition. This book was published in 1916 while the war was still in progress, so no clear resolution was possible. Wells did not know how long the war would last or which side would ultimately win, but he hoped that somehow, something good might eventually come of it. - Summary by Peter Eastman Genre(s): Literary Fiction, War & Military Fiction, Published 1900 onward Language: English Chapter Mr. Direck Visits Mr. Britling (sections 1-6) Mr. Direck Visits Mr. Britling (sections 7-12) Mr. Britling Continues His Exposition (sections 1-6) Mr. Britling Continues His Exposition (sections 7-9) Mr. Britling Continues His Exposition (sections 10-11) The Entertainment of Mr. Direck Reaches a Climax (sections 1-4) The Entertainment of Mr. Direck Reaches a Climax (sections 5-8) Mr. Britling in Soliloquy (sections 1-3) Mr. Britling in Soliloquy (sections 4-5) Mr. Britling in Soliloquy (sections 6-8) The Coming of The Day (sections 1-4) The Coming of The Day (sections 5-7) The Coming of The Day (sections 8-9) The Coming of The Day (sections 10-11) The Coming of The Day (sections 12-15) Onlookers (sections 1-6) Onlookers (sections 7-13) Onlookers (sections 14-18) Taking Part (sections 1-3) Taking Part (sections 4-7) Taking Part (section 8) Taking Part (sections 9-11) Malignity (sections 1-6) Malignity (sections 7-12) In The Web of The Ineffective (sections 1-6) In The Web of The Ineffective (sections 7-11) In The Web of The Ineffective (sections 12-14) In The Web of The Ineffective (section 15) In The Web of The Ineffective (sections 16-20) In The Web of The Ineffective (sections 21-26) Mrs. Teddy Goes For a Walk (sections 1-5) Mrs. Teddy Goes For a Walk (sections 6-10) Mrs. Teddy Goes For a Walk (sections 11-14) Mr. Britling Writes Until Sunrise (sections 1-4) Mr. Britling Writes Until Sunrise (sections 5-12) H.

Neal Stephenson, Ed Finn, Keith Hjelmstad, Kathryn Cramer, Rudy Rucker, & Annalee Newitz came to Google to talk about project Hieroglyph. Inspiration is a small but essential part of innovation, and science fiction stories have been a seminal source of inspiration for innovators over many decades. In his article entitled “Innovation Starvation,” Neal Stephenson calls for a return to inspiration in contemporary science fiction. That call resonated with so many and so deeply that Project Hieroglyph was born shortly thereafter. The name of Project Hieroglyph comes from the notion that certain iconic inventions in science fiction stories serve as modern “hieroglyphs” – Arthur Clarke’s communications satellite, Robert Heinlein’s rocket ship that lands on its fins, Issac Asimov’s robot, and so on. Jim Karkanias of Microsoft Research described hieroglyphs as simple, recognizable symbols on whose significance everyone agrees. What science fiction stories—and the symbols that they engender—can do better than almost anything else is to provide not just an idea for some specific technical innovation, but also to supply a coherent picture of that innovation being integrated into a society, into an economy, and into people’s lives. Often, this is the missing element that scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and entrepreneurs need in order to actually take the first real steps towards realizing some novel idea.

Houston Chronicle 2013-04-04Hugo Gernsback (August 16, 1884 – August 19, 1967), born Hugo Gernsbacher, was a Luxembourgian American inventor, writer, editor, and magazine publisher, best remembered for publications that included the first science fiction magazine. His contributions to the genre as publisher were so significant that, along with H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, he is sometimes popularly called "The Father of Science Fiction". In his honor, the annual Science Fiction Achievement awards are named the "Hugos".
Born in the Bonnevoie neighborhood of Luxembourg City, Gernsback emigrated to the United States in 1905 and later became a naturalized citizen. He married three times: to Rose Harvey in 1906, Dorothy Kantrowitz in 1921, and Mary Hancher in 1951. In 1925, Hugo founded radio station WRNY which broadcast from the 18th floor of The Roosevelt Hotel in New York City and was involved in the first television broadcasts. He is also considered a pioneer in amateur radio.
Before helping to create science fiction, Gernsback was an entrepreneur in the electronics industry, importing radio parts from Europe to the United States and helping to popularize amateur "wireless." In April 1908 he founded Modern Electrics, the world's first magazine about both electronics and radio, called "wireless" at the time. While the cover of the magazine itself contends it was a catalog, most historians note that it contained articles, features, and plotlines, qualifying it as a magazine. Under its auspices, in January 1909, he founded the Wireless Association of America, which had 10,000 members within a year. In 1912, Gernsback said that he estimated 400,000 people in the U.S. were involved in amateur radio. In 1913, he founded a similar magazine, The Electrical Experimenter, which became Science and Invention in 1920. It was in these magazines that he began including scientific fiction stories alongside science journalism.
David Keith Lynch (born January 20, 1946) is an American filmmaker, television director, visual artist, comic book artist, musician and occasional actor. Known for his surrealist films, he has developed his own unique cinematic style, which has been dubbed "Lynchian", and which is characterized by its dream imagery, and meticulous sound design. The surreal, and in many cases violent, elements to his films have earned them the reputation that they "disturb, offend or mystify" their audiences.
Born to a middle class family in Missoula, Montana, Lynch spent his childhood traveling around the United States, before going on to study painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, where he first made the transition to producing short films. Deciding to devote himself more fully to this medium, he moved to Los Angeles, where he produced his first motion picture, the surrealist horror Eraserhead (1977). After Eraserhead became a cult classic on the midnight movie circuit, Lynch was employed to direct The Elephant Man (1980), from which he gained mainstream success. Then being employed by the De Laurentiis Entertainment Group, he proceeded to make two films: the science-fiction epic Dune (1984), which proved to be a critical and commercial failure, and then a neo-noir crime film, Blue Velvet (1986), which was highly critically acclaimed.
