One Story of Nikola Tesla
Tesla is the real genius of our time. I'd want to meet him before Einstein, or any other thinker of the last 100 years.
Edison couldn't spell Tesla, but even in those days, he who told the story best, won.

I'd want to meet both. Tesla is to electrical engineering, as Einstein is to physics.

You are right. Even today "He who tells story best" wins.
