Most techies are fans of Tesla, not the car company, the man, the myth, the legendary patent holder Nikola Tesla. The Serbian-born American inventor has been cast as Thomas Edison’s more magical nemesis and contemporary — and he’s currently being celebrated at the New York Hall of Science.

Dan Wempa, who helped bring the exhibit to New York, joins Marketplace Tech host Ben Johnson to discuss.
