Welcome!
I’m Miriam Seidel. I’ve written a novel, stories and essays, and two opera librettos (and lots of art reviews). I’m writing science fiction/fantasy as Mir Seidel. I blog here about Nikola Tesla, science fiction, climate fiction, and more.
BOOK NEWS
TESLA’S OPERA was published by Fomite Press in September 2025! This book about the opera Violet Fire includes my libretto, fabulous images from the performances in Belgrade and New York, and commentary from me, other opera collaborators, critic Merilyn Jackson, and author Andrei Codrescu. Just as the opera did, this book aims to reveal the real, visionary NIkola Tesla to be far more than an electric-car figurehead.
