I’m doing something a little different in this installment. This time around, I won't be analyzing any one fictional work. Rather, I'd like to discuss the broad history of a very important topic, nuclear weapons.

The stakes of escalating warfare in this day and age are greater than they’ve ever been before. In this installment, I'll be highlighting one symbolic tool used largely in reference to the threat of nuclear weapons, the Doomsday Clock.
