And here I thought you must be playing Borderlands, because that is the name of one of the challenges inside that game!
The story of Tesla came to my attention back when I read Pierre Berton's Niagara: A History of the Falls, which (among many other things) discusses some of the lost opportunities due to Edison's self-aggrandizement campaign.
And, just for a fun note, the alternative history children's trilogy called Leviathan by Scott Westerfield has a Tesla Cannon featured in the second book. Nothing like sneaking a little science teaser into an action story to pique a kid's interest!

And you may call it righteousness
When civility survives,
But I've had dinner with the Devil and
I know nice from right.
