Product Description

Review

Hugely impressive. No one makes complex science more fascinating and accessible - and indeed more pleasurable - than David Bodanis (Bill Bryson )

A technological odyssey complete with heroes and villains, triumph and tragedy - a true scientific adventure (Simon Singh, author of BIG BANG and FERMAT'S LAST THEOREM )

Bodanis unpeels these layers of the electrical onion expertly; his writing is vigorous and sometimes ecstatic . . . ELECTRIC UNIVERSE is a high-voltage performance (DAILY MAIL )

A compelling, fast-paced read (OBSERVER )

GUARDIAN

'The story unravels at breakneck speed . . . unexpected, exhilarating and sometimes tragic events [are] recounted in a novel, engaging way'
