Thomas Bass is a contributor to the New Yorker, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Smithsonian, Wired, and other publications. In 2018 and again four and a half years later, he travelled to Fukushima. After seven years of research, including travels to Chernobyl, Bass gives us a remarkable account of how Fukushima's Argonauts of the Anthropocene are guiding us into our atomic future. “Fascinating … a compelling message about a crucial question - one so crucial that it bears on the survival of the earth.”- Noam Chomsky.
