Tesla was not merely an engineer; he was a visionary thinker who contemplated the ethical dimensions of technology long before it entered mainstream discourse. His diverse experiences, from working with Thomas Edison to founding his own laboratory, shaped his unique perspective on invention and innovation. This compelling work is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersections of science, philosophy, and history. Whether you are a student of engineering, a technology enthusiast, or simply curious about the evolution of modern innovation, "My Inventions" offers timeless insights that continue to resonate in today's world of rapid technological advancement. Tesla's reflections illuminate the creator's path and the society that both fosters and challenges innovation.

Autor

Nikola Tesla (1856–1943) was a visionary inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. Although Tesla penned a limited number of books, his autobiography 'My Inventions' is prized for its insight into the mind of the prolific innovator. In this work, Tesla chronicles his life's work and personal anecdotes, offering a window into the early history of electric power and the internal thoughts of a genius. His literary style is reflective and deeply analytical, intertwining his technical achievements with contemplative assessments of his own life and the broader implications of his inventions. Tesla's autobiography unveils the intricacies of his creative process, the breadth of his intellectual pursuits, from the development of the Tesla coil to radio technology, and his theoretical explorations of wireless energy transmission. This book is not merely a technical recount; it is a literary reflection that provides context to his groundbreaking discoveries and lingering influence on modern technology and innovation. Unfortunately, Tesla's authorial output was not voluminous, but in 'My Inventions' his unique voice and perspectives remain an indispensable part of the historical record, resonating with inventors, scientists, and historians of science and technology alike.
