Pochi sanno chi sia e cosa abbia fatto Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), forse il genio più misconosciuto degli ultimi secoli. In questo libro, scritto nel 1919, Tesla ci parla si sé, delle sue invenzioni, delle sue visioni, dandosi al lettore con una ingenuità e una sincerità disarmanti. Questa è la storia di un uomo che sembra essere stato proiettato dal futuro in un mondo per lui arretrato, quasi primitivo, senz'altro difficile. Un mondo a cui ha cercato di fornire delle soluzioni per liberarlo dalla guerra e dalla miseria, attraverso le sue scoperte e le sue invenzioni.

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) è stato un profeta dell'era elettronica. La sua ricerca ha posto gran parte delle basi per i moderni sistemi elettrici e di comunicazione, e le sue impressionanti realizzazioni includono lo sviluppo del sistema elettrico a corrente alternata, la radio, il trasformatore a bobina di Tesla, la trasmissione senza fili e l'illuminazione fluorescente. La ricerca di Tesla era così innovativa che molti dei suoi contemporanei non sono riusciti a capirla, e altri scienziati sono ingiustamente accreditati per le sue innovazioni.
