This anthology investigates the intersection of creative expression and the existential threat posed by nuclear proliferation and energy production. Editor Morty Sklar compiles a diverse collection of essays, poetry, and visual art to examine the cultural and psychological impact of the nuclear age. The work serves as a platform for writers and artists to articulate their opposition to nuclear policies and the environmental risks associated with atomic technology.

This volume functions as a historical artifact of the anti-nuclear sentiment prevalent in the mid-1980s. The material suggests a collection that prioritizes emotive and artistic responses to political policy over technical or scientific analysis.
