He argues that atomic power doesn’t just change warfare; it transforms the entire structure of society, dissolving old institutions and forcing humanity to confront new questions about freedom, responsibility, and the future of civilization. Jordan’s manifesto is both a warning and a call to action. Atomic energy gives humanity unprecedented power—but without moral renewal and institutional reform, that power could dissolve civilization rather than advance it. In this wise and splendid essay Virgil Jordan, President of the National Industrial Conference Board, faces with the candor and the courage of a richly mature mind the dilemmas which confront modern man as the age of alchemy atomizes him into a kind of communal molecule. Can the new atom around him destroy the old Adam within him?
