Nikola Tesla: Guided Weapons and Computer Technology

Why it’s on the list: Tesla’s own deposition testimony, edited by Leland Anderson from the Tesla–Fessenden patent interference records: radio-controlled craft, secure wireless signalling, and what Tesla called the art of individualization — an AND-gate logic circuit decades early.

Where I saw it: Recommended by @oprydai on X (September 20, 2025): “nikola tesla was sketching out guided weapons + early computer logic a century ago while everyone else was still trying to figure out electricity.”

• Nikola Tesla — the source of the testimony this book is assembled from.
• Technological Innovation — an invention arriving decades before the industry that could use it.
