Btw, my fellow Bristolians and fellow Urban Explorers will like that the Introduction takes place just down the road in Burlington Bunker. I really want to go there.

"attracting everybody from right-wing paramilitary white nationalists to off-grid back-to-the-land hippies"

I consider myself boardering towards the latter there, and find the shared interests with the first group deeply uncomfortable.

Chapter 5: Texas Redoubt.
This dichotomy really bothers me. Take care of the environment now and you wouldn't have to deal with some of these the end-of-days scenarios.

^ The online talk in the top link there is now live
High praise from Andrew Kelly calling Bunker, "the most fascinating book I've read in the long time." Having seen the number of @FestivalofIdeas interviews he's run I dread to think how many books he reads.
This is the Nevil Shute novel Brad is discussing btw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Beach_(novel)
The v. high tech bunker being discussed is reminding me of my Isolation Horror list https://twitter.com/dangusset/status/1325013674399068160
And these https://twitter.com/CreepyCatalog/status/1327324271941660672
Here are my reflections on reading @pidg's Nuclear War in the UK https://twitter.com/dangusset/status/1181644579214430210

Some of those Hummers look exactly like the legendary Aphex Twin tank, when park it outside a Mu gig.
"It's hard to separate pessimism from realism" - Bradley Garrett
School architecture having built in active shooter traps* doesn't surprise me. Even Child's school here in the UK does active shooter drills.

* We're talking doorsets that allow up to capture someone in a corridor here, not something out of Saw.
Brad on disaster capitalism, "I just hope we haven't entered into a death spiral"
Thank you to @Goblinmerchant and @FestivalofIdeas for that talk, that was brilliant.
