Yes, 2020 was much better, despite the scattering of Orange Man Bad that the author couldn't help from inserting. One important thing is that the US's response to NK in that book was non-nuclear. They can kill millions of Amer

I read it and was not impressed. It starts with North Korea launching two ICBMs against DC and a nuclear plant in California. Interceptors fail and the warheads hit their targets. This is unlikely, but possible. The launch is explicitly irr

You can buy a pretty good computer for US$2000, but a "top end" workstation today would be something like a maxed out Mac Studio or a Windows PC with a RTX 6000 in it, in which case you're paying more like US$10,000.
