SOLUTION UNSATISFACTORY - MAY, 1941

The article in my previous video mentioned a sci-fi story called "Solution Unsatisfactory" written by Anson MacDonald, saying that it most accurately reflected the atomic age that was emerging after the alleged atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

"Solution Unsatisfactory" was published in Astounding Science Fiction Magazine in May, 1941 before America entered the war and was telling its citizens that it was keeping them out of the European war.

Anson MacDonal is really Robert A. Heinlein, a free-love ultra liberal who used sci-fi to subvert the morals of American society amongst his mostly young male readership.

It seems like Robert A. Heinlein knew about the Manhattan Project, because the description of the project is very close to the real thing - it was a military project that started with the collusion of the British. He names universities that were involved in the Manhattan project and accurately mentions that there was a Canadian connection.

The sci-fi version says that using uranium as an explosive was impossible, its only usefulness is to grind it up into a radioactive dust to spread around a target which would destroy all life. It's dropped on Germany instead of Japan, because it was written in 1941, and there was no war with Japan yet.

So the literary elites seemed to know also know about the Manhattan project despite supposedly being topsecret that only a handful of government and military officials knew about. I think he exposes the reality, that uranium couldn't produce a "boom" then mushroom cloud explosion.
