Organizations have invested $30–40 billion in AI. According to MIT (2025), 95% produced no measurable return. Only 5% made it into daily workflows. If you're reading this, you're trying not to become that statistic—or you already are. The problem isn't bad technology. Most AI failures don't begin at scale. They begin during pilots, when early success builds confidence without revealing risks that surface once AI enters real workflows and decisions under pressure.

This book offers a clear, penetrating examination of one of humanity’s most consequential technologies—its origins in cosmic processes, its role in the modern energy landscape, the accidents that shaped its reputation, and the profound ethical questions that surround its use. Rather than taking sides, it illuminates the hidden mechanisms, political pressures, psychological forces, and historical legacies that form the real structure of the nuclear debate.
