What is electricity? Not just in theory, but really. What is it? Where did it come from? Who figured it out? How does it move, store, think, and shape the entire world? This isn’t a textbook. It’s the real story of how humans stumbled into one of the most powerful forces in nature and slowly, painfully, turned it into the thing that runs civilization. From static shocks and twitching frog legs to lightning storms, light bulbs, vacuum tubes, fusion reactors, and Wi-Fi, Electricity 101 breaks down the evolution of electric power. Not as a diagram, but as a discovery. This is a story of experiments, accidents, arguments, breakthroughs, and global infrastructure. It’s about the people who couldn’t stop poking things. And the sparks that lit the way. You use electricity all day. Now learn how we figured it out.
