In Nuclear Rites, anthropologist Hugh Gusterson takes readers on an incisive journey into the heart of a nuclear weapons laboratory, revealing a hidden world marked by dark humor, ritual secrecy, and carefully regulated emotions. Drawing on his fieldwork at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory - the very facility linked with the creation of advanced weaponry such as the neutron bomb and the MX missile warhead - Gusterson uncovers the deep-rooted beliefs and complex values that underpin the scientists’ work. The book delves into the nuanced identities of the researchers, highlighting how many embrace their work with a moral conviction, influenced in part by personal religious beliefs and progressive political views. Gusterson further explores the surprising parallels between the culture within the lab and the anti-nuclear movement, suggesting that both reflect the aspirations and anxieties of a middle class facing profound societal change. With keen insight, Nuclear Rites offers a multifaceted analysis of how security practices, ethical dilemmas, and even acts of testing serve as powerful initiatory rituals in a world on the brink of transformation.
