Nov. 24th, 2016 06:28 amit keeps coming back to me, that moment in War Book, when Kate reads out the final development in the nuclear scenario, the one where the whole world eventually goes bonkers and there are failed peace talks and fingers on triggers and and domestic riots and looting and we're all fucked - there are tears in her eyes and her voice hitches at "multiple racial attacks and killings", and once she finishes reading she just covers her eyes and weeps. (so do i! always.) and everybody else stares at the screen, forgetting to make notes. and we know it's not real but we also know how real and how really scary it really is. how easy it is to just fuck it all up.
