I listened to this over several days while doing various tasks, and I can’t say I recommend that. It really prolonged the fear and dread that I felt while listening. The damning investigative journalism and intense, ruthless prose make the story move quickly and illustrate the speed with which our world would crumble during a nuclear war. The author does not hold your hand when she tells you the governments of the world will respond to each other’s nuclear attacks with more nuclear attacks. It could happen any time, and the only question left is who? Who will kick off the cascade of events that would surely decimate our civilization? I don’t recommend reading or listening if you’re experiencing existential dread.
