Following in the tradition of bestsellers such as How to Survive a Robot Uprising and World War Z, The Mad Scientist Hall of Fame is an illuminating, instructive and comical behind-the-scenes look at the minds of history's brainy villains and heroes, mixing both real and fictional scientists, from Nikolai Tesla to Dr. Evil. In an entertaining and informative style, The Mad Scientist Hall of Fame features 21 hand-picked mad scientists, psychoanalysing their earliest fixations and deconstructing their diabolical inventions.

There's a lot of humor here, especially in the little profiles at the beginning of each section listing things such as likes, dislikes, and hobbies, and in the lists at the end that provide tips for increasing both your madness and science quotients. And there's something particularly amusing in treating a ridiculous fictional character like Dr. Evil to a mock-serious psychological analysis. But, I must admit, I do find the armchair diagnoses of real people mildly uncomfortable, and I fear that the real biographies here may be a bit distorted by the mad scientist narrative. I suspect I actually would have enjoyed it more if it had just stuck to the fictional folks. ( )
