The Problem of Increasing Human Energy: With Special References to the Harnessing of the Sun's Energy

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Tesla's 1900 manifesto, originally a long-form essay in The Century Magazine. He argues that human progress reduces to three engineering problems: increase the human mass, reduce the forces retarding it, increase the forces accelerating it. He then sketches the solutions — industrial nitrogen fixation, aluminum, solar power, the world's first remote-controlled robot, and the wireless transmission of energy across the planet. Visionary, eccentric, and almost embarrassingly prescient. The document anticipated drones, intercontinental engineering, the global power grid, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
