About this listen
Explore the Captivating Life of Nikola Tesla!
Obsessive, brilliant, and tortured, Nikola Tesla was lauded for his invention of the alternating current (AC) and other significant contributions to science. His claim that “harnessing the forces of nature was the only worthwhile scientific endeavor" both impressed and enraged the scientific community. Eventually his peers could no longer dismiss his eccentricities and began to view him as a crackpot - a potentially dangerous one.
Although Tesla’s work was a major factor in the success of the second Industrial Revolution, he died alone, impoverished, and largely shunned by the scientific community that once hailed him a genius. Beset by visions, without a wife or children, Nikola Tesla’s brilliant mind changed the world, even though at the time of his death he passed unnoticed into obscurity.
Some of the topics covered in this audiobook include:
- Childhood
- Education and Early Career
- Patents and Politics
- The Eccentric Genius
- Tesla’s Coil and the Niagara Contract
- Influential Friends and the Lure of Flight
- The Wardenclyffe Tower
- 1914 and Beyond
- And much more!

Any additional comments?
This is a great book. It gives a view into his life that most people are unaware of. Be aware, you might not think very highly of Thomas Edison after you read this book.
