This may be my only opportunity to brag. :-) that once upon a time in the 70s I had my own Oregon Road project when I hitchhiked from Florida to Oregon and back on $100. I've had a life long love affair with Oregon ever since. If interested, check out Adam Rockwell here on Substack, who provides daily updates from his spot on the Oregon coast.

Returning to the topic at hand, I would agree that fiction is often more powerful than fact. Video games are certainly the medium of the moment, as best I can tell.

That said, my best guess is that nothing too meaningful is likely to happen with nuclear weapons until after the next detonation. It seems extremely difficult for us to grasp existential scale information in the abstract. It's like our own personal mortality. We know it, but we don't really KNOW it.

It will be interesting and fun to follow along as you unfold this project. If it's anything like NukeMap, it should be brilliant.
