Nikola Tesla and You

Nikola Tesla and You is a book in Fallout 3. It can be seen in several locations during the game and sometimes in the loading screen of the game. Reading this book improves your Energy Weapons skill by 1 (2 with Comprehension).

Note if you're planning on collecting all 25 of them, you will have to disarm the bomb in Megaton. Until you do so, you are unable to get the house and therefore unable to pick up the skill book in Megaton.

Trivia
The book is an obvious reference to the famous (sometimes infamous) inventor, Nikola Tesla, who is considered by many to be the most prolific inventor in the field of electrical and magnetic engineering of the late 19th and early 20th century. Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current (AC) electric power systems, including the polyphase power distribution systems and the AC motor. Contemporary biographers of Tesla have regarded him as "The man who invented the twentieth century" and "the patron saint of modern electricity".

The lack of recognition received by Tesla during his own lifetime has made him a tragic and inspirational character well suited to dramatic fiction. The impact of the technologies invented by Nikola Tesla are a recurring theme in several types of science-fiction.

Looking at the front cover of Nikola Tesla and You, the person to the left is probably a caricature of Nikola Tesla himself.
