Nikola Tesla follows two friends and collaborators making a film about the famous inventor's life—and debating- between themselves- the very merits of that reputation. Sardonic and honest- this graphic novel is a refreshing reflection on the extraordinary changes to modern culture since Tesla's era- as well as a fascinating insight into the turbulent life of the\"mad genius.\"Who was Nikola Tesla? A brilliant inventor or a visionary uncoupled from his time? In this fictionalized exploration of his life- two filmmakers set out to settle the debate. Growing up in poverty in the mid-19th century under the Austro-Hungarian Empire- Tesla studied and became an engineer on his own strength. He emigrated to America- where he was employed in the laboratory of the famous Thomas Edison- the inventor of the phonograph and the light bulb. But corruption and competition among Tesla's colleagues—chief among them Edison himself—led to the\"War of Currents-\"a heated race for control of the world electricity market. Tesla came out on top of that race- but a strange and tragic confluence of events and prejudices led to his public downfall. With more than two hundred different patents and inventions over his lifetime- including the remote control and fluorescent lighting- Tesla is remembered today as one of the most important innovators in modern history.
