I’m a sucker for sci-fi unknown phenomenon investigation, and combining that with the Cold War intrigue was a nice touch for the appeal of the piece. I was definitely left with a sense of wanting more exploration into the world, so maybe I’ll have to look into the author’s series that has a similar setting. It’s pretty common to see Cold War fiction sending a “look what destruction we would bring on ourselves” message. Also not the first one I’ve seen mentioning this as an answer to the Fermi paradox (see Fermi and Frost).
Same same same same same same. I LOVE that shit. Slides click through a series of black and white photographs. 'These were taken by our spy planes last night over REDACTED. You'll see they show REDACTED and elements of the REDACTED REDACTED' I don't care what it is I am HOOKED. It's probably why I love the SCP Foundation so much, even if I don't read much of it these days.I’m a sucker for sci-fi unknown phenomenon investigation, and combining that with the Cold War intrigue was a nice touch for the appeal of the piece.
