Tesla: The Man Who Invented Tomorrow (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798235561489)

Nikola Tesla did not simply invent machines. He imagined the future.

Long before smartphones, wireless communication, drones, and global electrical networks existed, Tesla was predicting a world connected invisibly through technology. Brilliant, eccentric, visionary, and often misunderstood, he helped build the foundations of the modern age while living a life that seemed almost as extraordinary as his inventions.

The Man Who Invented Tomorrow explores the remarkable story behind one of history's most fascinating inventors. From his childhood in rural Croatia to the fierce battle between alternating and direct current, from the dazzling lights of the Chicago World's Fair to the mysterious Wardenclyffe Tower, this book traces Tesla's astonishing rise, dramatic failures, bold predictions, and enduring myths.
Written in a lively, accessible style and beautifully illustrated throughout in full colour, this is both the story of a scientific genius and the story of the electrical world he helped create.

- Tesla demonstrated a radio-controlled boat in 1898, decades before modern drones and remote-controlled machines became common.
- He predicted portable wireless communication devices long before the invention of the mobile phone.
