Thanks much for your response. Regarding psychological /social impacts.....
My generation was born just as the nuclear arms race got underway, were children in the fifties as that race exploded, and were teens at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
We might see one version of the psychological /social impacts of the nuclear era in the hippy movement. As we came in to adulthood much of my generation started talking about dropping out of society, ignoring authority and existing social conventions. Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die etc.
I wouldn't claim the hippy movement was a particularly coherent response to the nuclear era, and there were other factors involved besides nukes. But perhaps that social revolution provides a hint of how things could unfold.
