I found 'The doomsday machine' by @DanielEllsberg the most detailed and compelling book on this topic. I've also read a fair amount of the Effective Altruism analysis of nuclear war X-risk. It's not my research area, and I'm open to my mind being changed.
In most possible versions of human history, we blew ourselves up in a global thermonuclear war decades ago. We just barely made it, and most of us act like this is no big deal. Have a nice Friday evening btw.https://twitter.com/juliagalef/status/1093991549724049408 …
