My friend just read Annie Jacobsen's Biological War and said it had made him anxious. 

And I saw this:

“Biological War” is fact-based except for Jacobsen’s assumption that our leaders have experience, knowledge, integrity and empathy. If we must all perish, this version of events is better than one in which, as it isn’t terribly hard to imagine, the president volunteers to ride a nuke down to earth as if it were a bucking bronco, as Slim Pickens’s character does in “Dr. Strangelove,” whooping and livestreaming the whole way. NY Times.
