Review of 'The Curve of Binding Energy' on 'Goodreads'

Dated; the vision of an early 2000s world mostly powered by nuclear instead of coal and gas never came to pass, rendering many of the complex concerns mooted in the book less threatening.

Still an interesting (and as ever with McPhee, well-written) picture of a lesser-known human grappling with first The Bomb and later many possible bombs.
