A disturbingly believable account of what a slightly alternate universe version of 2020 might have looked like. It feels like a cross between [b:World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War|8908|World War Z An Oral History of the Zombie War|Max Brooks|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1528312647l/8908._SX50_.jpg|817] and the [b:911 commission report|22047559|911 commission report|911 commsision|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1399458609l/22047559._SX50_.jpg|41372684], being closer to reality than the former and a much more engaging and readable style than the latter. As chilling as this narrative was, it did give me the moment of relief that the disaster of a year that 2020 is for us here in the United State of America, it is not the worst possible reality, even when constrained to the realm of the plausible. That is cold comfort, but we must take comfort where we can find it.
The report was well written and quite an engaging listen. Perhaps it can serve as a lesson to many not just of how close to the brink we may be standing, but also of all the many fold ways that the intricate systems to prevent such a disaster are fragile and subject to failures both systematic and human.
