Alas, Babylon
Published in 1959, Alas, Babylon was written during the Cold War between Russia and the United States. As I read this thought provoking book, it caused me to reflect on the potential for disaster in our own generation and what would ensure survival.
While many approach a nuclear holocaust as unsurvivable, I, personally, prefer to believe that there is hope and that mankind would survive, regardless of how difficult. This book showed the potential. Now, can we apply the theory and learn from the imagination of others?
