Назив ,,Моји изуми" је толико неприкладан јер о њима пише свега 10%, остатак дела је ,,оооо видите како сам генијалан, је л' даааа, видите како сам осетљив, видите како бацам хејт на Лигу народа и милијардерске фуље, видите како сам духовит, је л' да да то нисте знали". IT WAS A BLAST THO. Would hang out with this guy.

Great book about one of the greatest inventors of all time. Sadly this book is "too" small and he just gives us a very brief glimpse of his inventions and ideas.
I did not know many things about him before reading this book like: Tesla was involved in wireless research, Marconi actually stole the Radio idea from Tesla. I always related Tesla with alternating current and did not know that he was into wireless as well.
I also liked that his main intention for inventing something was not to get applause or make money. He did all the hard work only for the betterment of the society. I admire him for his ideas to unite the world using wireless, using aerial machines as he calls them that revolve around the Earth.
"Peace can only come as a natural consequence of universal enlightenment and merging of races... There is in fact but one race, of many colors."
He was way ahead of his time and people did not encourage many of his brilliant ideas, which is really sad. They thought his ideas were too unpractical(he even mentions that people laughed at his ideas). But we now see those ideas were realistic since many of them have been implemented in real life.
Even though he was a scientist, he strongly believed in God!
I watched a movie sometime back about Tesla - "The Secret of Nikola Tesla(Tajna Nikole Tesla)". This movie went into the details about his life. I did not know about his involvement with Niagara project until I watched this video. Edison thought he was the "father of electricity" and couldn't tolerate another man coming up with a better form of electricity (Alternating current by Tesla). He never cared for money and he gave all his money to Westinghouse without thinking twice.
Do watch it if you are interested in learning more about this man's inventions.

It was, on one hand, really boring. But on the other hand I could relate to him on a personal level and how his brain worked. 3.5 stars
I'm glad I read it, but I won't pick it up again

I have always wondered why Edison was always first and foremost in line when we were taught about electricity, when Tesla was the more briliant mind and inventor. I wishe he was here to see our wireless lives now, smart phones, drones...so many of his conceived ideas that were laughed at and shot down in flames now have become part of our daily lives.

A collection of articles written by Tesla pertaining to his childhood, scientific motivations, beliefs and technical aspects of his trade.
It would be better imbibed by those involved in such fields, but nonetheless is an Engaging read.
