A detective-style journey tracing uranium’s astonishing life—from Roman pottery glazes and luminous dentures to the birth of nuclear science, natural reactors, and the race to harvest it from seawater. Along the way we meet uranium-hungry bacteria, bioremediation hopes, and breakthroughs like HICAP that push oceanic extraction toward reality. This isn’t just about bombs and power plants; it’s a geological, biological, and cultural epic that asks how we balance uranium’s promise with its risks as we move into the future.
