After I finished reading, I found some fun photos of the real men to correct the mental images of each of them that my brain created as I read.
Here’s Tesla with one of his lightbulbs:

And Edison:
Westinghouse:
And Paul! There are more photographs of him when he is older and more well-known; this was the closest I could find to his younger years.
And since I’m on a roll now, here’s one of Agnes!
I wasn’t familiar with the relationship between Westinghouse, Edison, and Tesla, so I googled it to get some background as well. I must admit I skimmed over the detailed parts about the patents, but I found the competition between Westinghouse and Edison, the information on Tesla and Paul’s role in it all to be fascinating.
