Albert Einstein
He Remade Reality in 1905. Israel Offered Him the Presidency. The Pathologist Stole His Brain.
Era 7
Contemporary
The world we inherited
JFK at the Berlin Wall, Mandela walking out of Victor Verster, Steve Jobs holding up the first iPhone. The Contemporary era is close enough to touch and far enough that the verdicts are still being written. First-person biographies of the leaders, dissidents, inventors, and icons who built — for better and worse — the world you woke up in this morning.
