"Kagerou: the heat haze, a lake in the desert, decay heat powered by nuclear radiation — invisible, pervasive. It was 12 March 2011. The day after the Fukushima disaster I woke up in a shrouded Tokyo: the cityscape looked blurred and twisted. Nobody else seemed to notice; for thirty-seven million people it was business as usual. Compared to the visible devastation of the tsunami, the invisible hazard of contamination seemed to belong to another world. The ghostly exclusion zone surrounding the plant felt more real: nature was starting to reclaim the town."
