I have to confess that I am deeply shocked by this writing. I believe that Arthur C. Clarke, the author, is trying to make us aware of how destructive and mean people’s acts can be since they do not think about the consequences those acts bring. Nowadays and all around the world, people can find technological and scientific development, lots of information, new inventions and more powerful devices to create, transform, and destroy things. The author describes a world destroyed by rockets and missiles, flooded, full of radioactive waste, with no towns left, not even a calm place to rest; a world completely changed. But this future is not as far as we think it is, that is the reason why the author wants us to react, for the most of the things we do take us a bit closer to that reality we surely don’t want to live. I think we should change some things now in order to keep that future as far as possible. Anyway, I hope I won’t be here when that moment comes.
