In the twilight of the 19th century, New York stands on the cusp of a revolution, teetering between the dim glow of gas lamps and the dawn of electric light. "The Last Days of Night" by Graham Moore plunges into this electrified battleground, where the quest to illuminate the world brings together geniuses, charlatans, and a young lawyer named Paul Cravath, who finds himself at the heart of an epic struggle. Hired by industrialist George Westinghouse, Cravath is thrust into a legal maelangethat pits him against the formidable Thomas Edison in a battle over the light bulb's patent, a conflict that stretches far beyond the courtroom to embody the fight for the future of electricity. Moore crafts a world rich in historical detail and drama, weaving real-life figures into a narrative that pulses with the urgency of invention and the ambition of its time. Through Cravath's eyes, readers navigate a maze of innovation and deceit, where alliances are ephemeral and the brilliance of Nikola Tesla shines as a beacon of possibility. Amidst the high stakes of technology and power, a more personal drama unfolds—a tale of love, betrayal, and the price of genius. "The Last Days of Night" is not just a story of electrical currents; it's a reflection on the forces that drive us towards the light, in all its forms.
