Young Nikola Tesla
The Enigmatic Electrician-Magician
Quick Intro
The Present Is Theirs; The Future, For Which I Really Worked, Is Mine
Every so often, an individual graces our species with a life so accomplished that it simply escapes comprehension. In modern times, individuals like Elon Musk are admittedly approaching this cultural status — however, only time will tell as he/they likely have decades of progress left. The previous torch-bearers though? There’s an undeniable one: Nikola Tesla. A man of engineering, science & invention with a life so prolific that he carried with him an aura of mystical appeal, Nikola Tesla is one of the very select individuals in history that defies explanation. With an inexplicably-high raw intelligence & a uniquely-hardcore work ethic, Tesla’s legacy & allure since his death has only continued to increase.
The ninth in our Masters of Many series, Nikola Tesla, always burned the candle at both ends, working past social norms & deep into old-age. A man of perpetual mystery, he’s well-deserving of his place among this group of polymaths. Maintaining the same focus as previous submissions, we ask again — what was he like in his twenties?
