Life at the Center of the Energy Crisis: A Technologists Search for a Black Swan describes the story of the authors work and struggles in the field of energy research. The authors experience in the field spans from work with Admiral Rickover and the Nuclear Navy to research with NASA designing propulsion for spacecraft to travel to Mars. The book provides insights into the differences between nuclear research done during the Cold War by the two superpowers, and offers a commentary on the flaws in each system with hope for change in the future. The book also provides a look into the development of the nuclear engineering program at the University of Illinois from the authors years as a professor and an administrator.
