Do scientists speak truth to power? During the Cold War, a group of American strategists and science advisors claimed to do precisely that. Styling themselves as figures of rationality and restraint, they insisted that mutual assured destruction was the natural logic of the atomic age: as long as nuclear deterrence was credible, no one would ever shoot first. This doctrine, known as "strategic stability," became the foundation of the arms control movement. But in this counterhistory, Benjamin Wilson shows that we have misunderstood them and their efforts.

For a century, physicists and philosophers have treated quantum mechanics as an anomaly—a realm where particles tunnel through barriers, exist in multiple states at once, and refuse to reveal their properties until observed. The quantum world has been called bizarre, counterintuitive, and fundamentally strange. But what if this strangeness was never in the world at all? What if it was only ever in our expectations? Nothing Strange About Quantum Strangeness offers a radical reframing.
