If evening news rival with fiction from Stephen King and you feel thats sky or more realistically new and improved A-bomb is getting closer than even falling on you and crushing you like a bug then this book is for you...as an intelligent person the constant feeling of dread you cant but help to feel with the amount of stupid people surrounding you in positions to do you or your love ones considerable damage you have to sometimes think of your options of survival...Mr.Strauss here has done more than think, bordering on paranoia thats more or less based on facts, he fights back...in the end i think the most healthy idea was presented by someone who said that if it gets that bad then i he/she doesn't want to survive....i think Neil Strauss is phenomenal guy and his dedication to research and learning is astounding...if each and every one of us would educate ourselves to his level concerning something that would benefit the human race then we`d be saved...
