You might find Sam Cohen's _Shame_ (published by Xlibris.com, ie
self-published)
interesting. After he discusses his mother's infliction of enemas on himself,
he gets into the ethics of neutron weapons, which he invented and thinks
is a pretty cool solution for lots of geopolitical problems.
He's part of the jewish nuclear conspiracy, but not the hungarian jewish
nuclear conspiracy
like Teller, von Neumann, etc..
