Itzhak Bentovās book āStalking the Wild Pendulum: On the Mechanics of Consciousnessā was awesome.
Dude is Good Will Hunting times Forrest Gump. No college. Invents the missile system used by the Israelis in their War for Independence in the 1940s.
He writes this book in ā77, then dies (totally not at all suspiciously) in a plane crash. 4 years later his work is cited in now declassified research.
If you want a sample of his ideas before checking out the book, the video below has a short tv interview with Bentov from after he published but before he died. Coupled with that interview is a lecture given by his widow on his work.
