The Man Who Lived in Tomorrow

This episode of Find Out How steps inside Nikola Tesla’s head and treats it like a time machine.

We don’t just list his inventions; we walk through the future the way he saw it: glowing cities powered by vast AC grids, a planet wrapped in invisible waves carrying voices and news, and machines doing the hardest work so people could think instead of just survive. 

Tesla doesn’t show up here as a “mad genius” cliché, but as someone who looked at electricity and asked, “If this is true, how far can we go?”

From wireless dreams that terrified investors to early ideas of automation and remote control, you’ll hear how his visions outlived him and quietly became your daily life. 

If you’ve ever held a phone, flipped a switch, or watched a robot work and thought “wow,” this episode shows you who imagined that “wow” first.
