Good overview of fusion developments and prospects

Revisado: 01-14-25

I listened to this audiobook to hear about recent developments in fusion technology. The books started with some basic history of physics and the fundamentals of fusion. All these concepts were already familiar to me, but I believe this introduction would be accessible to a broad audience. The book goes on to outline the main past, current, cand future concepts for potential fusion reactors for commercial energy production (with a brief diversion concerning fusion in spacecraft engine concepts), covering national, international, and private enterprise projects. The discussion was quite UK-centric; understandable given the author and the significant role the UK has played in this area of research, but it's something that some listeners might not expect. Overall, this was a good and accessible summary, but if you are looking for deep discussions of specific reactor designs or detailed description of the physics, this is not the place. I also found the narration jarring at times. The narrators sometimes seemed to be reading the text for the first time, with stressed pauses is odd places and some glaring mispronunciations.
