In his bestselling E=mc2, David Bodanis led us, with astonishing ease, through the world?s  most famous equation. Now, in Electric Universe, he illuminates the wondrous yet invisible  force that permeates our universe?and introduces us to the virtuoso scientists who plumbed  its secrets.

For centuries, electricity was seen as little more than a curious property of certain  substances that sparked when rubbed. Then, in the 1790s, Alessandro Volta began the  scientific investigation that ignited an explosion of knowledge and invention. The force  that once seemed inconsequential was revealed to be responsible for everything from the  structure of the atom to the functioning of our brains. In harnessing its power, we have  created a world of wonders?complete with roller coasters and radar, computer networks and  psychopharmaceuticals.

A superb storyteller, Bodanis weaves tales of romance, divine inspiration, and fraud  through lucid accounts of scientific breakthroughs. The great discoverers come to life in  all their brilliance and idiosyncrasy, including the visionary Michael Faraday, who  struggled against the prejudices of the British class system, and Samuel Morse, a painter  who, before inventing the telegraph, ran for mayor of New York City on a platform of  persecuting Catholics. Here too is Alan Turing, whose dream of a marvelous thinking  machine?what we know as the computer?was met with indifference, and who ended his life in  despair after British authorities forced him to undergo experimental treatments to ?cure?  his homosexuality.
