In Worlds Within Worlds: The Story of Nuclear Energy, author John McPhee takes readers on a journey through the fascinating world of nuclear science and technology. McPhee begins by exploring the early history of nuclear physics, from the discovery of radioactivity to the development of the first nuclear reactors.

He then delves into the complex and often contradictory history of nuclear power, from its early promise as a clean and efficient energy source to its more recent association with nuclear accidents and the threat of nuclear war.

McPhee also examines the potential of nuclear fusion, a promising new technology that could provide a safe and sustainable source of energy for the future. He concludes by exploring the ethical and political dilemmas posed by nuclear energy, and by offering his own thoughts on the future of this powerful and potentially dangerous technology.
