Electric Universe: How Electricity Switched on the Modern World by David Bodanis

2.0

Entertaining and readable - but at a price. Tesla may be the biggest but he's not the only omission; for example, while their work wasn't electrical, it seems disingenuous to omit the likes of Babbage and Lovelace from a history of computing. Then there are the simplifications. They're huge, sometimes misleading, and often unnecessary. Style over substance.
