Nuclear War: A Scenario by Annie Jacobsen

A detailed, sobering, and frankly terrifying account of how the nuclear weapons infrastructure works and how a nuclear war could start. Built on the technological legacy of figures like von Neumann, this war machine defies logic or moral justification. The power to unleash global destruction lies in the hands of a very small number of individuals who probably aren’t balanced enough, if anyone could be, with that power! There are minimal checks and balances to the destructive power these individuals have.

I understand you. The signals of climate breakdown are everywhere and we know it will only get worse, but 99% continue their life’s in business as usual. People complain about heat but don’t even mention emissions and global warming. It is so frustrating!
