The Making of the Atomic Bomb
Popular Science
Rhodes's Pulitzer-winning narrative follows the physics, personalities, and politics that produced the first nuclear weapon, from Rutherford's lab through Trinity. Karpathy rated it five stars on Goodreads, noting the exponential jump in destructive energy density—from chemical to nuclear—as a recurring mental model for discontinuous technological leaps.
