Once upon a time in the quirky world of yesteryear, there lived a man named Hugo Gernsback, or as we like to call him, the grand poobah of sci-fi sass. Born with the slightly less sci-fi-sounding name Hugo Gernsbacher, this Luxembourgish-American dynamo strutted into the scene on August 16, 1884, and the universe of science fiction has never been the same since.
Picture this: a dapper chap with dreams bigger than Jupiter decides to venture across the pond and make the U.S. his playground in 1904. He wasn't just any ordinary expat; he became a citizen, because why not? But that's not the best part. Gernsback was not just your run-of-the-mill Earthling; he was a maestro in the realms of publishing, electronics, and radio – basically the Elon Musk of his time.
