How in any world were nuclear bombs NOT INTERESTING? Sure they sucked, maybe, even that is arguable. But only a Luddite will say something like ”nuclear bombs are boring”. Tech has always been interesting, and cool, at least since the industrial revolution in modern eras. As Kubrick showed brilliantly in 2001, “technology” is what has always made us different and successful. Brutal, sure, but successful nonetheless.
Well, I personally don't consider the technology to murder millions of people to be very interesting. It's more terrifying than it is interesting. The physics behind it? Sure, definitely interesting.
