Description

Description from Project Gutenberg

"The Master Key" by L. Frank Baum is a novel published in 1901. When young electrical experimenter Rob Joslyn accidentally touches the Master Key of Electricity, he summons the Daemon of Electricity, who grants him nine extraordinary technological gifts over three weeks. Armed with devices that enable flight, invulnerability, and remote communication, Rob embarks on adventures that test whether he—and the world—are truly ready for such powerful inventions. His ultimate decision will determine humanity's technological future. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
