It argues that nuclear weapons and authoritarianism remain dangers, despite the passage of eight decades. The writer says history and power show how quickly societies can approach dictatorship or catastrophe. Books and films preserve these warnings through personal testimony, dystopian fiction and alternate history. Works such as John Hersey’s Hiroshima, Masuji Ibuse’s Black Rain, Barefoot Gen, Grave of the Fireflies, Ray Bradbury’s There Will Come Soft Rains and Oppenheimer are cited as examples.
