Synopsis :

Did Einstein invent the atomic bomb? Is there such a thing, like a nuclear rocket? Are the people of Fukushima all going to die of cancer? Is nuclear power really bad? Did the gigantic endeavor of a nuclear arms race, a folly of cynicism, obscure incidents, and dark episodes, bring anything good to humanity?

Are we all going to be annihilated by a massive nuclear holocaust?

This is a book for young people and adults. It focuses not on science but on the main historical events that led to the atomic bomb as also lifesaving nuclear technology.

Atomic Follies is about elucidating some of our apprehension, confusion, disbelief, distrust, and real fears on nuclear matters.

Written in an accessible language and without the presumption of any scientific knowledge by the part of the reader, the book chronologically narrates our nuclear age, from the discovery of the atom to the most fantastic innovations on nuclear science and its application in medicine, energy, and war.
