A fictional account of the transition of the United States into the era of electricity

New York, 1888. Young lawyer Paul Cravath takes on the most unlikely case. His client is George Westinghouse, who has been sued by Thomas Edison for 1 billion dollars: who invented the electric light bulb first and who has the right to electrify the country? In this improbable journey of intrigue, secrets, and high society receptions, Paul will meet Nikola Tesla, who holds the key to his case.

A historical novel that recounts the transition of the United States into the era of electricity in the late 19th century. Three key figures of this transition were three famous inventors: the charismatic but cynical Thomas Edison, the "father" of the electric light bulb, George Westinghouse, the resourceful and perfectionist advocate of alternating current, and Nikola Tesla, the eccentric scientist from Serbia, a visionary who lived in his own world where human intellect knows no limits.
