The Manhattan Project was the secret initiative that led to the development of the world’s first atomic bomb. The Project was worked on in a variety of secret research environments scattered throughout the United States of America (ex: Los Alamos, New Mexico (This is the one where Robert J Oppenheimer was stationed at in with the role of Director), and Hanford, Washington). This project would culminate in the development of the Little Boy and the Fat Man model atomic bombs, which would change the landscape of war forever after their deployment in Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the Second World War. The Manhattan Project was not a solo undertaking by the United States, as the project also had assistance from the United Kingdom and Canada. The Manhattan Project would feature some of the greatest feats of Physics research of the time, all in service to the destructive potential of the bomb. The feats of technological development that The Manhattan Project was responsible for was a main point of inspiration for Kazuo Ishiguro in the development of the setting for his novel Never Let Me go. Earlier drafts featured a setting that was post-nuclear, and the eventual inspiration for the final setting was imagining a world where the advancements towards physics spurred by the Manhattan Project were attributed to the realm of Biology, instead.
