A new biography of electrical pioneer Nikola Tesla, one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in the history of science.

Superb * Nick Smith, Engineering and Technology magazine *
[This] crisply succinct, beautifully synthesized study brings to life Tesla, his achievements and failures..and the hopeful thrum of an era before world wars. -- Nature
There have been other Tesla biographies, but this is the one I have been waiting for ... Tesla, he shows us, was - like his one-time boss and rival Thomas Edison - inventing nothing less than the electrified future. -- Philip Ball, author of Invisible: The Dangerous Allure of the Unseen
Clear and engaging ... a pleasure to read * Physics Today *
