How much impact would an atomic power capsule have on civilization?
An atomic power capsule would probably have an enormous impact that would mainly be focused on countries that have no centralized power supply. In such places the capsule would be of enormous use since it’s cheaper and can be built faster than a power plant and requires no infrastructure. A good example of its potential uses is actually found in this very book. Look at how Tom used the capsule to develop Kabulistan. Expensive dams and nuclear power plants, as Tom pointed out, were simply forgone, as they were not needed. Instead, every large factory, hospital and school was equipped with their own atomic power capsule. This, of course, had enormous benefits. Once you had paid for the capsule, you had enough electrical power to last for years, depending on the size of the capsule and the power you used. Not only that, but the power it provided could be counted on — no storm, however, severe, could knock out your power supply. Another important invention, this one crucial to the success
