Story
What began as a scientific breakthrough ended as a blueprint for annihilation. In The Atom Unleashed, James Johnson unpacks the explosive history of nuclear discovery—from Einstein’s quiet equations to Chernobyl’s glowing ruins. This is not just the story of a bomb, but the story of how we turned theoretical physics into geopolitical theology, and how one equation rewrote the rules of power, fear, and what it means to be human. With precision and relentless clarity, JJ turns the nuclear story into a mirror—one that forces us to ask not just what we’ve done, but who we became while doing it.
