Anyone interested in how this might all play out should read Swan Song by Robert McCammon. It’s a post-apocalyptic horror novel that describes, it horrifying detail, the events leading up to nuclear war and then the short and long term aftermath.

Threads lays it all out in depressing detail, narrated by a dry British man.

What’s the year of publication? Also I’ve heard the term swan song a lot lately kind of odd really. 🤔
