Empires of Light

Their fierce competition shaped modern electricity, but I wonder what drew Jill Jonnes to focus on their stories together. Did she find new insights into their relationships?

Reading about their innovations and struggles made me appreciate how close we came to a world powered by their ideas. Did the book make others think differently about technological progress?

Some parts felt dense with history, but I appreciated how the story never lost momentum. I wonder if Jill Jonnes had to make specific choices to make this accessible for general readers.
