I've been following your work on nukes for a good long while, and I'm puzzled by something to which you may know the answer. Why are we still stuck in brick-and-mortar nuclear technology? Are we really not working on something far more devastating? I was led to believe we were.
I'm not sure what you mean by "brick-and-mortar." The state-of-the-art is not "giant bombs" but "very compact weapons that you can fit a bunch of on the end of a single rocket." We developed that in the 1960s-70s. It does the job one would want very well, better than big bombs.
By the late 1970s work on weapons design in the US was, as some designers put it, "polishing a turd." Squeezing just a little more efficiency or safety out of a fundamentally solved problem. No new breakthroughs or concepts in the warhead field.
In any case your body of work for The New Yorker has been riveting...and chilling.
Still needs delivery system and is messy, as you well know. (I "love" your nuke map, if that word can be said to apply.) Have you not heard about the possible debut of laser weapons (illegally) from space?
The real innovation in nukes from the 1970s onward has not been warhead work, but delivery vehicles. Make your missiles more accurate or more difficult to detect or whatever, and you mix things up a lot. Hence "modernization" is all about those things. I don't know about lasers.
