Michael Faraday and the Electrical Century explores the life and work of one of history's most influential scientists. At the heart of his story is electricity, a revolutionary force that transformed 19th-century society. As the electric telegraph enabled mass communication, inventors looked to electricity as the key to controlling all aspects of life.

This biography sheds light on the impact of Faraday's science on Victorian society and its enduring influence on our world today. By examining Faraday's life and work, Morus reveals the pivotal role he played in shaping the course of history.
