“The Next (and Final) 24 Minutes”

“At minute 72 of a confict that began at 3:03 p.m. EST, 1,000 Russian nuclear warheads begin striking America in a twenty-minute-long barrage of nuclear hellfire. One thousand nuclear warheads strike a nation already decimated by 192 Russian SLBM warheads and two North Korean thermonuclear bombs. North Korea's third and final ICBM-launched from the Hoejung-ni underground facility in Hwapyong County, North Korea failed upon reentry.

The barrage of 1,000 nuclear weapons strikes a nation already stripped of electricity and littered with the dead bodies of nuclear bomb blast victims, victims of radiation poisoning, of airplane, train, subway, and automobile crashes, of chemical explosions of floods from burst dams.

There are 1,000 flashes of light, superheating the air in each ground zero to 180 million degrees Fahrenheit.

1,000 fireballs, each one more than a mile in diameter.

1,000 steeply fronted blast waves.

1,000 walls of compressed air, accompanied by several-hundred-mile-per-hour winds pushing forward from the 1,000 fireballs, mowing down everything, and everyone, in the path.

1,000 American cities and towns, where all engineered structures in a five-, six-, or seven-mile radius change physical shapes, collapse, and burn.

1,000 cities and towns with molten asphalt streets.

1,000 cities and towns with survivors impaled to death by flying debris.

1,000 cities and towns filled with tens of millions of dead. With tens of millions of unfortunate survivors suffering fatal third-degree burns.

People naked, tattered, bleeding, and suffocating.

People who don't look—or act—like people anymore.

1,000 ground zeros transforming into 1,000 mega-fires, each soon to be burning over an area of 100 or more square miles.” (p. 276, 277)

#REVIEW: Nuclear War: A Scenario, by Annie Jacobsen

I’ll not bury the lede: this is the scariest fucking thing I’ve ever read. My regular readers might be protesting already. Didn’t I just post a “review” of Josh Malerman’s Incidents Around the House that more or less boiled down to “Nope”? And then I named it Book of the Month? And, like, a week later, this book is the scariest fucking thing I’ve ever read? Here’s the thing: Incidents Around…

📖 "Wojna nuklearna" – Annie Jacobsen Przeczytałem niedawno książkę Annie Jacobsen „Wojna nuklearna” i muszę przyznać, że to jedna z najbardziej wstrząsających lektur, jakie miałem w rękach. Autorka z niesamowitą dokładnością opisuje możliwy przebieg konfliktu nuklearnego, minutę po minucie, opierając się na odtajnionych dokumentach i rozmowach z ekspertami.

Jacobsen wciąga nas w brutalną rzeczywistość – od momentu, gdy pocisk jądrowy zostaje wystrzelony, aż po przerażające konsekwencje jego użycia. To nie tylko sucha analiza, ale też obrazowy opis skutków – od oparzeń, przez falę uderzeniową, po opad radioaktywny. Czytając, czułem, jakby ktoś podsuwał mi pod nos scenariusz najgorszego koszmaru, który może stać się rzeczywistością.

To, co najbardziej mnie uderzyło, to świadomość, jak niewiele potrzeba, by taka katastrofa się wydarzyła. Decyzje podejmowane w ułamkach sekund, technologia, która jest równie przerażająca, co fascynująca, i poczucie, że świat balansuje na krawędzi przepaści.

Jeśli szukasz książki, która otwiera oczy na zagrożenia, o których często nie chcemy myśleć, to jest to pozycja dla Ciebie. To nie jest łatwa lektura, ale zdecydowanie warta przeczytania.

Zachęcam, żeby sięgnąć po „Wojnę nuklearną” – gwarantuję, że długo po jej skończeniu będziesz myśleć o tym, co przeczytałeś.
