Simply Electrifying: The Technology That Transformed the World, from Benjamin Franklin to Elon Musk brings to life the 250-year history of electricity through the stories of the men and women who used it to transform our world: Benjamin Franklin, James Watt, Michael Faraday, Samuel F.B. Morse, Thomas Edison, Samuel Insull, Albert Einstein, Rachel Carson, Elon Musk, and more. In the process, it reveals for the first time the complete, thrilling, and often dangerous story of electricity's historic discovery, development, and worldwide application.

Electricity plays a fundamental role not only in our everyday lives but in history's most pivotal events, from global climate change and the push for wind- and solar-generated electricity to Japan's nuclear accident at Fukushima and Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons.

Written by electricity expert and four-decade veteran of the industry, Craig R. Roach, Simply Electrifying marshals, in fascinating narrative detail, the full range of factors that shaped the electricity business over time - science, technology, law, politics, government regulation, economics, business strategy, and culture - before looking forward toward the exhilarating prospects for electricity generation and use that will shape our future.

Very interesting. Good book overall. Covers great history. Goes into detail on many different topics.

Good read/listen

From my perspective, this book starts strong with a sweeping treatment of the birth of the science of electricity. My interests are more technical, however, and the book later devotes considerable time to the business, policy, politics, and regulation of the industry. Nothing wrong with that; it's just not my primary interest.

The latter treatment of renewable energy and Elon Must was disappointingly brief, however I must admit that chapter of history is still unfolding.

Broader than my narrow interest.

Cool background Franklin and Faraday but felt a bit dull and at times a bit bla bla. Georg Ohm could have used more shine.

EHHH

boring book and monotone narrator. not my worst purchase. I was really not expecting so many hours of electricity policy and environmental concerns about coal. it would have been better to leave politics out and talk about the modernizations of generators and renewable power mechanics more.

Boring

I wanted pure history of electricity but what I got was pure garbage about politics, environmental theories, and just babblings.

deceptive junk

This book is not what it says it is. The first quarter actually focuses on the discovery and applications of electricity, but after that it’s all about the bureaucracy of how electricity was integrated into society. Struggled through as long as I could, but had to give up. Not worth the time.

Interesting to boring

struggled to finish. thought it would be a good book about electricity from an engineering perspective, but is just a political science book. first chapters were good, but ended up talking politics. disappointing.

decent, but ended up disappointing.
