About the author
Nikola Tesla (1856–1943) was a visionary inventor and electrical engineer whose work has left an indelible mark on the modern world. Although Tesla is more widely recognized for his scientific achievements and inventions, his literary contributions, particularly in the form of his writings, journals, and articles, give valuable insights into his ingenious mind. Among his literary works, 'Collected Writings of Nikola Tesla' stands out as a compendium that encapsulates his technological philosophies and discoveries. Tesla's literary style is marked by meticulous technical descriptions coupled with a deep, almost poetic reverence for the potentials of electricity and the natural world. This reflects Tesla's reputation as a pioneer in alternating current (AC) technology, the development of the AC induction motor, and his audacious experiments with wireless communication and energy transmission. His writings reveal the intellectual prowess of a man who not only contributed immensely to the field of electromagnetism but was also a philosopher of science, dreaming of a world transformed by technological innovation. While Tesla's works may not be classically literary, they are essential to understanding the mind of a man who aspired to share his vision of the future with humanity, a future energized by the unbridled power of the natural and the scientific world.
