Good Read - "Lucifer's Hammer", a post apocalyptic novel detailing the aftermath of a large comet strike on earth and the efforts of the characters to survive the aftermath. It's sort of nuclear Armageddon without the radiation.
Yeah; a good read. There was another one about the Iranians hacking into satellites that held kinetic weapons; tungsten steel rods; "rods from God." That was a good one too. 'Can't remember the name of it though.
I read that several times. First when I was young, in Jr. High, and then as a young adult, then later in my 30's. The message always resonated. Perhaps it would be even stronger today.
Much as I like most of Mr. Norway's work, especially his history of the British airship failure recounted in Chapter 6 of his autobiography "Slide Rule", his novel "On the Beach" was anti-proliferation propaganda at its heart, not based in reality.
Of greater concern than individual detonations is the potential effect of an EMP attack against these united States; a somewhat optimistic fictional take is "One Second After" by Forstchen.

The Thomas Sowell quote is at the root of everything that is wrong with the gov't.
