Since announcements by the “Galiani” division of publisher Kiepenheuer & Witsch have surfaced, I'd like to confirm that my new book is set to be published in early March 2012. The English working title is
A SHORT HISTORY OF NUCLEAR FOLLY. It's an overview of the most irresponsible things that humans have done with nuclear technology, from accidentally dropping a Nagasaki-type bomb on a train conducter's house, implanting plutonium into patients' hearts, devising high-altitude nuclear weapons to kill enemy astronauts and shooting a John Wayne movie in a radioactive Canyon.
