A biography of the extraordinary inventor of the late 19th and early 20th centuries - Nikola Tesla, written by his friend. Many of Tesla's inventions were decades ahead of his time, and some are still not understood. Although dozens of his patents are in use today and he is revered as a national hero in his native Serbia, Tesla's true role in our civilization appears to have not yet been clarified. In this in-depth exploration of the life of the superman from the science of Nikola Tesla, he is revealed not only as a genius, whose influence on the world today is invaluable, but also as a genius whose great shadow extends into the distant future. For a wide range of readers.

The author, John J. O'Neill, decided to write this book - the first complete biography of the great Yugoslav-American inventor - after the death of Nikola Tesla in 1943. And who, if not him, could take on this matter, and not only because his scientific publications brought him the Pulitzer Prize, but also because for many years he had a personal friendship with Tesla, who even once told him: “You understand me like no one else in this world.”
