THE BOOK OF THE VIP
ADAM
Edison the Conqueror of Electricity
Chapter 21
The Americans will look at God’s creation and see everything in it as the raw material of new things,
2hNot to mention huge fortunes,
3Which is why the Americans will discover how to turn everything in the world into something else,
4That is, something else that can be sold for money.
5For example, an American capitalist named iThomas Edison will turn magnets into electricity and pipe the electricity into people’s homes through wires,
6jFor money.
7And when people have all this electricity running into their house, they will want to buy other things that use electricity,
8Which is why Edison will also sell them electric light bulbs,
9And electric floor lamps,
10And electric toasters,
11And electric ovens,
12And electric heaters,
13And maybe even kelectric shoes,
14For all we know.
15In fact, Edison will achieve such a complete victory in the American market for electricity that he will become well known throughout America as the Conqueror of Electricity,
16Or General Electric for short.
