Sunless sea
Saturday challenge - 323 - 09/16/2023 - Sustainability - Although this book was written in 1979, and set in 1985, it deals with current issues, i.e. the constant focus on oil resources, and the threat of nuclear warfare, which would make life on earth unsustainable.
I have just read this 1979 book again, and it is literally falling apart ... as is the world, in this story of dwindling resources on the planet, and ensuing chaos from the ultimate nuclear war.
David Graham's Down to a Sunless Sea (1979) is a post-apocalyptic novel about a planeload of people during and after a short nuclear war, set in a near-future world where the USA is critically short of oil. The title of the book is taken from a line of the poem Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

By Samuel Taylor Coleridge
"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea."

Gillian Everett club has replied to Annaig56 clubGillian Everett club has replied to Gudrun clubGillian Everett club has replied to Annemarie clubZwischen 90 und 180 Minuten, glaubt man, würde es einen Schlagabtausch geben. Danach käme es zu einem Waffenstillstand. Alleine in Europa (wahrscheinlich hätte es auch nur dort Zerstörungen geben), müsste man mit etwa 40.000.000 Toten rechnen, die dem sofort zum Opfer fallen. In den Tagen danach dann immer mehr und mehr. Durch so ein Ereignis wäre aber nach wenigen Wochen die Erde nur eingeschränkt bewohnbar und auch die Menschen, die nicht unmittelbar in der Nähe waren, erkranken und haben mit kaum abzuschätzenden Problemen zu rechnen. Irgendwann in vielen vielen Jahren hätte sich dann auch die Erde davon erholt.
