Rad Future

When most people think of 'nuclear energy, ' they think of the bad stuff: bombs, disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima, and cancer-inducing fallout. But Isabelle Boemeke has found that science contradicts this narrative. Plot twist: turns out nuclear energy is our best option for ensuring the future of the planet.

In Rad Future, Boemeke proves that nuclear is not just the most effective form of energy production, it's also the key to unlocking even more important and revolutionary technology. What's more, she shows why nuclear energy is actually safe, and how a negative public image paired with a few highly preventable disasters have led us to fumble the bag on the cleanest, most environmentally friendly and powerful form of energy available to us. In this quirky, fun romp through science and history, she answers all your burning questions about the risks (minimal) and benefits (huge) of increasing our nuclear production to power the whole world. And though wind, solar, and other renewables are part of the equation, nuclear energy is the secret sauce that could finally end our dependence on fossil fuels.

We have the tools to make our wildest sci-fi utopia dreams a reality. Rad Future is the first accessible distillation of nuclear energy and it will leave you feeling stoked about what our future could be.
