Written in 1900 by Nikola Tesla, this book gives great ideas on automation, agriculture, energy, and increasing human output to improve the human condition.

I read the reviews before I purchased this audio book. One criticism was that it is read to fast. So, I slowed it down to .75 speed on Audible app. That fixed the ‘to fast’.

The forward to this book is written by the narrator, Ryan Jarvis in 1955, the book was written in 1900.

One thing that may confuse people is that Tesla talks about mass and velocity of the entire human race. We are not accustomed to mass and velocity talked about from any other point of view than an individual object.

I will have to listen many more times to grasp the meaning conveyed.

Seems best that a hard copy be at hand so I could see the diagrams described.

Magnificent book

The narrator reads this content as if he were a middle schooler reading a book report on a topic that he does not understand. Tesla's assertions are interesting and compelling on their own, but listening to the narrator's cadence and underwhelming delivery was very distracting. Wish I could get my credit back and just buy the hard cover book for myself.

narration is absolutely horrible

unfortunately this audible performance is much like listening to a 7th grade student read shakespear... he's trying to speed thru it rather than convey understanding. I will find the hardcopy to finish this one.

brilliant content ruined by bad narration

there are other better recordings IMO; adriel brandt in "the nikola Tesla collection" for instance.

this narrator is meh

Decent effort, but falls short on poor narration and monotone delivery. Each section or group of paragraphs should have had analogies or some hook to involve the listener. There were many points of interest, but it would take another careful listen to glean the information and then I would have to research on my own.

I Will Listen Again.....Maybe

Wish my brain was bigger so I could better understand more of the concepts discussed.

Brilliant

Difficult to Enjoy or focus on writing. Poorly read. Not engaging, rushed reading, various audio qualities. Unable to listen to this recording.

Not recommended.

textbook,dry,couldn't finish,found it as fun as watching paint dry and grass grow. Which is sad because Tesla is a fascinating subject. But this one really could have been presented better

boring

The narrator was just reading the book. It made it so boring. Hope to return this one

Can’t listen to 3 or 4 or whatever guys switching narration every other paragraph. Sounds like a grade school reading where cadence and rhythm rapidly change. Makes me just zone out. Hate it
