Sinopse

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.

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.
