The Road
by Cormac McCarthy
Far from any "road" traveled by you or I, The Road is a world in which humanity's ultimate capacity to annihilate one another achieves its pinnacle.
Nuclear apocalypse: fiction or reality?
Chernobyl baby, born 20 years after the incident...
The Road is ultimately about what happens when we don't pay attention...
Nuclear waste = clean energy?
Modern nuclear armament & proliferation.
"Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery." -The Road
"What you alter in the remembering has yet a reality, known or not." -The Road
"All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes."
