Description
Nikola Tesla and the Electrical Future by Iwan Rhys Morus is a study that brings to life the enigmatic scientist's achievements and failures. In an era marked by innovation and transformation, Tesla embodied the aspirations and paradoxes of his time, making him synonymous with the electrical future. Morus examines Tesla's life in the context of the extraordinary times he lived and worked, colourfully evoking an age where anything seemed possible. He shatters the myth of the 'man out of time', demonstrating that Tesla was a product of his era, and shows how the popular image of the inventor-as-maverick-outsider was deliberately crafted by him. This book provides a nuanced understanding of Tesla's life and legacy, shedding light on an era where the boundaries between science and imagination were constantly being pushed.
