The book is enjoyable overall, though some parts feel tedious due to the overwhelming information, especially for non-physicists. Is it a compelling story? Sure. At twice the necessary length, it detracts from its purpose.

2/5

Someday I want to recreate the Oppenheimer book cover photo. It’s just such an astonishingly cool picture. What an absolute legend he was/still is.

American Prometheus is 100% a must-read for any history buffs. 📖

Awhile ago, I heard "Chapter 22" @cr8tivecandy.bsky.social but I could be well past that, by now. Before 1940, he reminded me of Dr. Sheldon Cooper! After the *gadget* he's not the same man. #Audiobook #Oppenheimer #AmericanPrometheus #Books

Started reading #AmericanPrometheus before Chris Nolan’s Oppenheimer hit the theaters.
Finishing the last pages now, Robert was Prescient in his fears of Nuclear Escalation,& its Ramifications. #WWIII

Kai Bird is a prolific biographer, most known for #AmericanPrometheus which won a Pulitzer and was the basis for #Oppenheimer. I got the chance to talk to him on #RecollectingCarter about his most recent book "The Outlier: The Unfinished Presidency of Jimmy Carter"
