I have to read "Worst Cases" by Lee Clarke for one of my classes and it is FASCINATING to read an 18 year old book about the worst things that could ever happen because WOO BOY. Lotta shit has happened in the last 18 years. It keeps talking about epidemics and how stuff like that isn't as big of a concern because of vaccinations. And it just mentioned how we don't really need to worry about school shootings after Columbine because they statistically "aren't on the rise."
Which, yeah, it'd be interesting in general to take that look back in our disaster planning and see what we got wrong, but to see it in a book that is specifically supposed to be about the value of worst case thinking, yet it still dismissed these major things that did end up happening is...something. It sure is something.
