I'm loving all the history of the atomic bomb and related articles, but I'm curious. Is this just a trend on HN right now or is something I'm not aware of going on?
There is a dramatic series made just for WGN-TV called Manhattan. Its about life in Los Alamos during the bomb development times. Its about spies, counter-spies, bored horny housewives and bomb development. it was more interesting in the beginning, but has bogged down in subplots.
The recent non-fiction best seller "Radiance" covers Manhattan and its before and after. I didnt realize how many of these people I crossed paths with at one time.
