I love histories of interesting scientific things.
Also, we've reached the point where I pick up books because the author said interesting but completely unrelated things on Twitter and I kind of love that.
Also, WOW, I has forgotten that the era right before I was born was extremely into nuclear energy as the future and not as the horrifying thing that will kill us all and there's an oddness that comes from reading people who are very much NOT in that mainframe.

This is the way science books should be written. A great mix of science, history, personal stories, and interesting facts. You'll learn quite a bit along the way. It also includes some future-casting as well. Recommended.

I really appreciate the ARC for review!!
