This book looks at representations of nuclear weapons in art and culture, and how they shape our perceptions and collective imagination. Bringing together 35 authors with very diverse profiles and modes of expression (researchers, diplomats, artists, critics, curators, etc.), such as cartoonist, Plantu, or director, Antonin Baudry (Le Chant du Loup), it draws up a vast and inviting panorama to think about the representation of the nuclear weapon; to read the literary works, the novels, the comic strips which depict it; watch the bomb on the big and small screen; listen to it in song; play video games that depict it; the photography that illustrates it; the architecture that anticipates it; and the national propaganda that exploits its threat. This unique set and the 170 illustrations that accompany it make this book a singular reference work.
