TL;DR

In "Invisibility," Gregory J. Gbur, a professor of physics and optical science, explores the history and science of invisibility. The book delves into the scientific discoveries of luminaries such as Isaac Newton, Ernest Rutherford, and Albert Einstein, and the literature of invisibility. Gbur's interest in invisibility fiction is chiefly scientific in nature, and he is more concerned with descriptions of fictional invisibility mechanisms than in the ways authors use the concept to examine themes of free will, desire, and fear of the unknown.
