Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, futurist, and engineer who was born in the United States. His mind was one of the most brilliant in history, but he struggled with mental stability at various points in his life. The fact is that Tesla was born into a family with mentally sick parents. His OCD was so severe, according to legend, that he was forced to wear white gloves during every meal to avoid contamination.

The Sea is My Brother, the first novel by American novelist Jack Kerouac, was released 40 years after his death. But while he was still alive and well, he garnered international attention for his novel The Town and the City, which was first published in 1950. He has left a lasting legacy that is considered to have influenced many great musicians, like Bob Dylan, throughout his career.
