About this audiobook
Sparks in the Dark is a deeply human, reflective biography of Nikola Tesla that moves beyond myth to explore the mind, discipline, and emotional complexity behind his revolutionary ideas. Through nuanced storytelling, the audiobook traces Tesla’s journey from a lightning fascinated child to the architect of alternating current, examining rivalry, ambition, financial struggle, and isolation along the way. Rather than romanticizing genius, it reveals the cost of relentless imagination and the tension between vision and practicality. This is a story about brilliance, resilience, and how ideas can outlive recognition, quietly shaping the modern world long after their creator fades from view.
