This thread from last year is the best one to read today on the 75th anniversary of the last nuke used in anger (for now.) For many reasons, what happened to Nagasaki should be just as discussed and debated as what happened to Hiroshima. https://twitter.com/wellerstein/status/1159799358650499072
Also excellent, but less comprehensive, is this piece Wellerstein wrote on the 70th anniversary: https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/nagasaki-the-last-bomb
Nagasaki has been lodged in my mind since I first played this game, 27 years ago: https://classicreload.com/dosx-trinity.html. Infocom’s (of Zork fame) best work. Of its many memorable scenes - the skink! the lemmings! - the most moving is set in a school playground 75 years ago today.
