Getting Through World War III.
The whole business of ‘survival'after a nuclear holocaust is not quite as simple or clear-cut as you’d think. After all, it isn’t just your physical self you must save; there are your mental faculties to consider as well…
For example, you may be able to pick up a fully equipped nuclear bunker for an absolute steal and this will provide you with instant safety from any impending atomic attack! But just how long do you think you could hold it together in there? Bunkers are not exactly ‘spacious'and there are only so many weeks that you can play klonkdike solitaire before going totally stark raving mad!
You can see what I’m saying, can’t you? Sure, it’s pretty easy to keep yourself away from apocalyptic harm on a physical level; but what is the point if you are only going to emerge as a drooling, muttering shadow of your former self??? Apart from that, have you stopped to think about the long-term consequences of an all-out nuclear attack?
You are likely to see many long months of fallout, whilst there will be very little sunlight at all. And if you do manage to grow any food, then it is bound to be deformed, discoloured and dangerously radioactive. Perhaps you could live underground instead? But that would be a little depressing as well; no sunbathing, no country walks and no wandering into town whenever you get a craving for fish and chips!
Does the idea of ‘survival'in a post-apocalyptic world still appeal? Surely it would be more about ‘existing'than ‘surviving’…
