Nuclear War

“This is less of a review and more a commentary on the Hollands and Brooks episode.
While I think there is some justification around the concern that people aren’t afraid of nuclear weapons the way they should be or used to be, I think people of my generation (millennials) have maintained conscious awareness of the potential ramifications of nukes - with video games. I’m sure some people will find this idea ridiculous but there have been a number of extremely vivid, detailed games dealing with the possible aftermath scenarios of nuclear war and none of them are positive. In pretty much every instance I can think of, society as we know it is gone, humanity has backslid to extreme tribalism, the environment is incredibly hostile and survival by most is extremely unlikely.
The Fallout series does a great job of depicting what parts of the United States would be like after the nukes fall.
The Metro series (based on the books by Dmitry Glukhovsky) details the survival of a small group of people who happened to be in the subway tunnels of Moscow (and other Russian cities) when the nukes fall.
The Stalker games similarly deal with the potential horrible environmental consequences of the fallout within the Chernobyl exclusion zone.
So I, for one, feel like I’ve got a pretty good sense of the consequences of a post nuclear war world and I want no part of it. If you think playing with nukes isn’t a big deal, check those games out. While they are art and interpretation, games are often heavily researched to provide a sense of realism.”

“Stumbled across this after being a long time Hardcore History listener. Great complementary podcast on history topics to go along with the main HH channel. A must listen to if you like History, if you like to reflect on current politics &a issues, and if you like Hardcore History.”
