We had to read this in high school. To prepare us for nuclear war and the prospect that we could die young due to circumstances beyond our control. I think this is why Gen X is the way it is. Kids today get active shooter drills and worry about climate change, which is horrible, but we had the prospect of sudden mass murder on a continental scale

Because I actively want to be depressed or something.
