Nuclear War
a chilling scenario

Annie Jacobsen’s Nuclear War: A Scenario is meant to be a factual non-fiction book, but it reads more like a horror.

A meticulously researched, moment-by-moment breakdown of what would happen if nuclear war were to begin, it strips away politics and ideology to reveal one terrifying truth: that no one wins. The planet, our home and every single living species upon it, would be irreversibly scarred. Millions of lives, billions of biodiversity—gone within a few hours.

The air poisoned, the oceans dying, civilisation unraveling. The day of reckoning, brought on by the most dangerous species to have ever lived on the face of this planet. Homo Sapiens. 

All gone. And for what? Borders, power, ego.

Jacobsen’s book forces us to look at the fragility of everything we take for granted. It reminds us that no matter where we come from, we share the same sky, the same fate., the same home.

We are all connected, all animals, plants and oceans under this one kingdom.  And yet we continue to divide, to fight, to destroy.

If there was ever a time to love each other more, to truly see one another as human first, it is now. This book should be required reading for everyone - leaders, citizens, dreamers, sceptics—
because the truth is, we can’t afford to ignore it.

The planet doesn’t need saving. We do.
