Alas, Babylon
zeitgeist: height of the cold war
ortgeist : the United States
I read an interesting book this weekend. It was called Alas, Babylon. Like most Americans, I know the idea of nuclear war was considered a certainty during the 1950s and 1960s - however, maybe unlike most current Americans, I believe it is not all that unlikely for it to occur today.
I’m aware that there are only a few countries with ICBM capability, but it’s not the governments I worry about so much - accept, perhaps, for China’s. I worry about things like “rogue” agents working nuclear material into Mexico and then bringing it over to the U.S. - something that is a lot easier to do than many might think.
