‘Bombshell’ Review: PBS’s Cautionary Tale of Technology

This documentary focuses on the propaganda surrounding the development and deployment of the atomic bomb and the journalism that sought to cut through it, with lessons for our own age of ascendant AI.

Excerpt: "But it’s also a cautionary tale. “It has never been the habit of the scientists of this country or the policy of this government to withhold from the world scientific knowledge,” said President Harry S. Truman. That is something “Bombshell” establishes wasn’t true in 1945, and might very well not be now."
