| Description | It's 1939, and a teenage math genius is mysteriously summoned to the Smithsonian Institution, where a crash program to develop the atomic bomb is being conducted in the basement. The boy turns out to hold the key to both the secrets of nuclear fission and breakthroughs in the time continuum. As he brainstorms with Robert Oppenheimer, he catches a glimpse of the coming war. In a race against time -- and surrounded by figures from American history past and present, including Albert Einstein, Grover Cleveland, and Abraham Lincoln -- he battles to save not just himself, but humanity. A brilliantly imagined tale of some of the key events of our time, The Smithsonian Institution is a masterwork of comedy and allusion. |
