Nikola Tesla: The Questions That Designed the World

Nikola Tesla is often remembered as a brilliant but eccentric genius. But what if his greatest legacy was not a single invention, but the questions that shaped how modern civilization works? Nikola Tesla: The Questions That Designed the World is not a conventional biography. Rather than focusing only on achievements and timelines, this book follows the ideas and questions that guided Tesla's thinking about electricity, systems, scale, and invisible structures. From a childhood marked by illness and imagination, through the triumph of alternating current and the quiet failure of Wardenclyffe, this book presents Tesla as a systems thinker whose influence extends far beyond his lifetime. Inside this book, you will explore: • Why alternating current transformed cities, industries, and daily life • How Tesla anticipated wireless communication, automation, and networked systems • Why visionary ideas sometimes fail—not because they are wrong, but because society is not ready • How Tesla's questions continue to shape debates about energy, technology, and connectivity today Written for readers interested in science, technology, history, and ideas, this book reveals how the most powerful forces shaping our world are often invisible. Tesla did not finish the future. He left it open. The questions remain.
