Abstract
Fallout is a series of role-playing games set in a prolonged nuclear age that follows the fictional Great War of 2077. Its story follows an alternate history scenario that branches from our history at about 1950. During the years following the nuclear fallout, the earth changes its face. Species mutate, some animals become sentient, and many humans lose their mind. This review focusses on the historic context of the nuclear age and how it informed the world of Fallout.

Summary
It was around 450 BCE when Leucippus and Democritus formulated the first theories about Atoms and Void. The Manhattan Project succeeded in building a nuclear bomb after three quick years of research3. The atomic bombs at our disposal represent only the first step in this direction, and there is almost no limit to the destructive power which will become available in the course of their future development. The bomb abruptly ended the Second World War. Life in the Post-Apocalyptic Wastelands
