Written by Nikola Tesla at the age of sixty-three, this autobiography is a fascinating glimpse into the interior life of a man who may have contributed more to the fields of electricity, radio, and
television than any other person living or dead, a man certainly possessed of genius, and one who some consider the most important man of the twentieth century.
My Inventions is a firsthand account not only of the art and science behind the conception, execution, and reception of Tesla’s most famous inventions but of his early life and first
creative efforts as well. History buffs, science enthusiasts, backyard inventors, and anyone who has ever dared to dream big will be thrilled to hear this engaging, informative, and uniquely
humorous autobiography.

“[The] father of radio and of modern power transmission and generation.” —New York Times on the author
“Contrary to popular belief, Gugliemo Marconi is not responsible for radio as we know it. And Thomas Alva Edison was not the one to bring reliable electrical currents into homes and industries. Instead it was the work of Nikola Tesla, now a virtual unknown, that catapulted the world into the future.” —New York Times on the author
“No one knows of Tesla, yet his work has changed all our lives…The high-tech conveniences we take for granted—the cellular phone and television, for example—would not exist without Tesla.” —Dr. Marc Seifer, author of Wizard, on the author
Nikola Tesla (1856–1943) was a Serbian American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the development of the
alternating-current electrical system, which made the universal transmission and distribution of electricity possible. His invention of the induction motor underlies the modern electrical power
industry.
