Autorenporträt
Nikola Tesla (1856–1943) was an inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. Born in Smiljan, in the Austrian Empire (modern-day Croatia), Tesla's work revolutionized the electrical world. His numerous patents and theoretical work formed the basis of wireless communication and the radio. Although not primarily known as a writer, Tesla compiled his findings and philosophies in 'Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla' (1893), which provides an insightful look at his visionary approach to invention and the future of technology. His literary style reflects his meticulous nature as an inventor and his unyielding attention to detail. Tesla's propensity for thorough explanation and his ability to predict future innovations are evident throughout his writings, which remain not only a testament to his enduring legacy but also a glimpse into the mind of a true pioneer. Today, Tesla is celebrated not just for his inventions but also as a symbol of ingenuity and boundless curiosity. His societally transformative works continue to inspire scientists, inventors, and thinkers globally.
