Reception

Dave Langford reviewed In Search of Nikola Tesla for White Dwarf #50, and stated that "Sifting through the maze of Tesla's later loony patents and the modern cultists who overvalue them, Peat charts a fascinating voyage through the self-deceptions and genuine achievements of the great man and others. I could have used less information about Peat [...] and more about Tesla, but it's a genuinely-interesting read." [1]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Nikola Tesla in popular culture</span>

Nikola Tesla is portrayed in many forms of popular culture. The Serbian-American engineer has particularly been depicted in science fiction, a genre which is well suited to address his inventions; while often exaggerated, the fictionalized variants build mostly upon his own alleged claims or ideas. A popular, growing fixation among science fiction, comic book, and speculative history storytellers is to portray Tesla as a member of a secret society, along with other luminaries of science. The impacts of the technologies invented by Nikola Tesla are a recurring theme in the steampunk genre of alternate technology science-fiction.
