Virtual Destruction

AUTHORS’ NOTE

Although the majority of this novel occurs at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, we have taken certain liberties in describing the people, events, and circumstances of that facility. The Virtual Reality lab, T Program, Building 433, and the Laser Implosion Fusion Facility do not exist, and the characters live only in the authors’ imaginations. While we have attempted to depict the Plutonium Facility accurately, we have altered certain details and aspects as the story required. The toxicology and hazards of HF are similar to how we have described them here, with some minor modifications.

The views expressed herein are totally those of the authors and are not to be construed as those of the U.S. Government, the Department of Energy, the University of California, the Department of Defense, the FBI, or the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
