About this listen
Nikola Tesla: The Brilliant Inventor Who Dreamed of a Wireless World invites listeners on a powerful journey through the life and mind of one of history’s most electrifying geniuses. More than a catalogue of inventions, this book captures the soul of a man who saw the world not only as it was, but as it could be—lit by unseen energy, connected across great distances, and liberated from the wires that once defined modern life.
Born during a lightning storm in 1856, Tesla's life was symbolic from the very beginning. His natural gifts revealed themselves early—an astonishing memory, fluency in multiple languages, and the uncanny ability to design complex machinery entirely in his imagination. But what truly set him apart was his way of thinking. Tesla didn’t tweak existing technology; he dismantled it conceptually and reimagined it from the ground up. That radical approach led to world-changing breakthroughs—from alternating current (AC) power systems to wireless energy transmission, radio waves, and remote control.
Each chapter of this book delves into a defining episode of Tesla’s extraordinary life. It begins with his formative years in Eastern Europe and his bold journey to America, where he briefly worked for Thomas Edison before the two men famously clashed. It explores the bitter “War of the Currents,” a technological and ideological battle that pitted Edison’s direct current (DC) against Tesla’s far more efficient AC system. Tesla, with the support of George Westinghouse, would ultimately win—lighting up the 1893 World’s Fair and reshaping the way electricity powered the modern world.
