A series of articles written by Tesla that give autobiographical insight into his development into an inventor. Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 - 7 January 1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electrical supply system. Nein, ich ging nicht davon aus, dass ich etwas verstehen würde, wenn Tesla von seien Erfindungen berichtet.

Some parts of the book read as 'familiar' because of how precise Tesla saw into our time and beyond.Tesla's work schedule from college is also inspiring - he would work in the lab from 10am until 5am the next day. Online Internet scrutiny has subsequently revealed numerous omissions and additions that did not appear in the original serial text published in Electrical Experimenter magazine. Peppered with names and inventions that changed life for mankind in the early 20th Century, Nikola Tesla imagined life in the 21st. One part I liked was when Tesla was expounding on his personal philosophy of health, or 'focusing on himself'.

Nikola Tesla, uncelebrated oracle of the electronic age without whom our telephone, radio, automobile ignition, and television would have been unrealized, was born in Croatia in 1856. Nikola Tesla (1856 –1943) was a Serbian American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current electricity supply system.By this discovery he proved that Earth could be used as a conductor and made to resonate at a certain electrical frequency. It seems he saw the world as cause and effect or stimulus and response from emotions to disease to war to machines - everything is a response to a stimulus and may be solved or explained like an equation. Because of his pronouncements and the nature of his work over the years, Tesla gained a reputation in popular culture as the archetypal "mad scientist".
