Not a good selection to read at the same time as North and South Korea are shooting at each other..however, maybe everyone should read it. I find old-school science fiction really quite fascinating.
The story takes place in Melbourne Australia in 1963. The northern hemisphere has just been destroyed by nuclear war and the poor folks in the south are simply waiting for the fallout to hit. They have about 6 months to live with this knowledge and the calm acceptance of it all was very eery. Things were so calm, at times I found the plot rather dull!
I don't enjoy counting down time at New Years - let alone counting down time to the end of the world.
