“Did you mourn the ending of Simon Winchester’s Pacific? Fret no longer, the companion is here, and it’s no less filled with batty geniuses who want to power the world with a scary mixture of nuclear energy and hubris. Stellar nonfiction.”──《書單》
“A gloriously nerdy tour of atomic research.” ──《自然》
“Delivers an expert, equally amusing chronicle of the wide world of nuclear science. Mahaffey's account is not the first but definitely the funniest.” ──《科克斯書評》
“Although the atomic craze peaked in the mid-20th century, the topic continues to fascinate, and Mahaffey has tapped into the excitement.” ──《圖書館期刊》
