Explores the socio-cultural fallout of America's technoscientific project - the atomic bomb. This book examines how diverse groups - weapons scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Pueblo Indian Nations and Nuevomexicano communities, and antinuclear activists - have engaged the US nuclear weapons project in the post-Cold War period. "Masco seems to have taken to heart the tension between anthropology and science studies: on the one hand science studies too often fails in its understanding of what long-term intensive fieldwork can do; on the other anthropology too often fails to get directly into the heart of science and technology the way it always has language, spirituality, and economy. Masco's book is fusion (that impossible goal of our nuclear culture) of the best kind."---Christopher Kelty, Savage Minds
