I've also been spoiled for choices on other ways to immerse myself in the exclusion zone - the cultural impact of Chernobyl cannot be overstated, as it has been reflected upon both literally and figuratively in books, media, video games, movies, and TV shows. While I don't consider myself an expert by any means, these subjects have fascinated me as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've read more books about Chernobyl, nuclear science, the history of the nuclear bomb, radiation, and Soviet history, than any other subject. I have wanted to visit Chernobyl since I was a young man.
