Recently learned this is a double exposure image. They took an exposure in an unlit room for the lightning, then put Tesla in there reading a book and took the second exposure.

Correct.

Still a nice composition but it is @deceivinglyhistoryporn if not in the right context.

This photo is so famous yet I never knew this fact about it. Thanks!

Someone probably claimed AI, and then someone else was forced to correct them based on Cunningham's Law.

I didn't know it was double exposure, too.

Why wasn't he instantly fried by some of those lightnings?

He wasn't there with the arcs. It's a double-exposure photo. Take a photo with him, then remove him and start the arcs, talking a very, very short exposure photo.
