“A technological odyssey complete with heroes and villains, triumph
and tragedy—a true scientific adventure.” —Simon Singh, author of
Big Bang
“Though science is omnipresent in Electric Universe, it’s only part
of the literary equation. Living, breathing, laughing, loving,
vainglorious, extraordinarily gifted humans get plenty of ink as
well.” —Chicago Sun-Times
“Anyone who has considered the inner workings of a computer (or
even a toaster) would get a charge out of Bodanis’s history of
electricity. . . . [He] adds more than a touch of drama to his
lucid and informative science lessons.” —Entertainment Weekly
“Hugely impressive. No one makes complex science more fascinating
and accessible—and indeed more pleasurable—than David Bodanis.”
—Bill Bryson
