ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“American Prometheus” by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin chronicles the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist behind the development of the atomic bomb during World War II. The book delves into his early academic journey, leadership of the Manhattan Project, and the ethical dilemmas surrounding the creation and use of nuclear weapons. It explores his complex personality, personal struggles, and his later years advocating for nuclear control. The biography examines themes of scientific responsibility, moral conflict, and the consequences of technological advancement in a world on the brink of nuclear war.
