I strongly recommend the book "Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety". It's a nice view of how many more bombs we made and how incapable we are of responsibly managing them even before questioning the rationality of the state.
- ErigmolCt 2y agoNuclear weapons management is challenging. This book is a good read connected to the topic
- rurp 2y agoI second this, it is a great book. It's an eye opening and terrifying look at what is involved in managing these weapons. A lot of people take nuclear weapons for granted these days, but the book drives home how fortunate we are that there hasn't been a horrible accident at some point.
