About the author

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), a polymath and a visionary, is best known for his groundbreaking contributions to the understanding and harnessing of electricity. While Tesla’s works are primarily technical and scientific articles, patents, and lectures, he did produce a work that can be classified under the autobiographical and reflective genre, entitled ‘My Inventions: The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla, ‘ originally published as a series of articles in ‘Electrical Experimenter’ magazine in 1919. In this autobiographical account, Tesla shares insights into his personal history, thought processes, philosophical musings, and the extraordinary breadth of his innovations, including the alternating current (AC) system and numerous devices that have shaped modern technology. His literary style in ‘My Inventions’ is characterized by lucidity and a narrative that is at once educational and deeply personal, providing a window into the mind of one of the most brilliant inventors in history. Although he spent most of his career as a scientist and an inventor, Tesla’s autobiography reveals his ability to captivate the imagination through prose and to elucidate complex scientific concepts in a manner accessible to the general audience. His contribution to literature is vastly overshadowed by his monumental scientific achievements, yet this autobiographical work remains an important complement to the understanding of his life and legacy.
