Resumen

Between 1870 and 1916 electricity occupied the minds of some of America's most prominent authors. Before Mark Twain published A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889), he visited Nikola Tesla's laboratory and recognized that the alternating-current machine he saw there would revolutionize American life.
