20.500.12556/DiRROS-31512 Between science and science fiction – the case of the Manhattan project H. G. Wells, L. Szilard, and the nuclear narratives of World War II from U.S.A. to U.S.S.R. The article examines the relationship between the technical science behind the Manhattan Project and its depictions in the literary genre of science fiction. It analyzes the complex connection between science and science fiction using the example of the invention of the atomic bomb and its positioning between the pre- and post-atomic eras. Drawing on the works of writers and scientists such as H. G. Wells and Leo Szilard, the article explores how ideas about nuclear technology were articulated, interpreted, and contested in science fiction in rela- tion to scientific facts. The central research question is to what extent science fiction functioned as a mediating space where emerging nuclear technologies were reflected upon with regard to issues such as deter- rence doctrine, political responsibility, and the ethical implications of technological power. science fiction atomic bomb true false true München oekom verlag GmbH Angleški jezik Nemški jezik Copyright (c) 2026 Sebastian Korenič Tratnik Neznano 2026-08-04 13:07:22 2026-08-04 13:07:22 2026-08-05 03:48:57 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zasl.; Opis vira z dne 17. 7. 2026; Str. 62-68 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2025-10-22 2026-03-13 2026-07-06 17:001 2567-8833 10.14512/tatup.7273 285248259 https://tatup.de/index.php/tatup/en/article/view/7273/12272 1 abd908d8-8ff4-11f1-af5a-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=48833 RAZ_Korenic_Tratnik_Sebastian_2026.pdf RAZ_Korenic_Tratnik_Sebastian_2026.pdf 1 A956A3AE6AF5EE6A990B85702069E14E 891b1b5dbe8ef623e5b8378476b0530f8ae419f65dca66a1d9f01d56c347ad79 0238135a-8ff5-11f1-af5a-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=48834 Institut Jožef Stefan 0 0 0
