My Inventions and Other Works
Nikola Tesla
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
Between February and October 1919, Nikola Tesla submitted many articles to the magazine Electrical Experimenter. The most famous of these works is a six part series titled My Inventions, which is an autobiographical account of Nikola Tesla's life and his most celebrated discoveries. This work has been compiled and republished as a stand-alone book several times under different names, but has been a cause of some controversy due to some versions deviating from the original text without explanation. This LibriVox project returns to the original text and expands upon it through the addition of Nikola Tesla's own supplementary articles as they were published in 1919.

Intriguing and Informative

The first half of the book is very entertaining, and we get some interesting insight into the thought process and life- experience of Dr. Tesla. The second half of the book is majority letters that he wrote to scientific journals and for presentations and patents. The second half is difficult to digest in audio book form
