To learn more about Oppenheimer, I enjoyed the following book: "The Oppenheimer Alternative", by Robert J. Sawyer. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/49706374 https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/49706374 The first part is a well-researched retelling of the years leading up to the Manhattan project and the building of the bomb, through the eyes of Oppenheimer and others. The rest is a science fiction extension of what could have happened if the group stayed together and are faced with another big challenge. I enjoyed the first part even more, as an entertaining way of learning more about Oppenheimer and the other scientists involved.
