IKIGAI by Hector

A
Thousand Nights and a Night The version I acquired should have been called "Tales from..." as others are since it doesn't include all of the stories as listed on Wikipedia. I have therefore been listening to the LibriVox version (found on Youtube) along side reading the tales I have. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stories_within_One_Thousand_and_One_Nights |

After reading Rex Gordon's No Man Friday (see below) I discovered this one preceded it, so I sourced myself a copy. This one is about a small group of people who travel into their future to escape their distopic past to find them in a strange future, post nuclear fallout, and one of many areas designated "Utopia". |

Aka, First on Mars. Rex Gordon is a pen name for Stanley Bennett Hough (1917 - 1998). This book was published in 1956 and provides an insight into ideas about space travel at this time. In this story we have Gordon Holder blasting off with a team in a British rocket from the Woomera rocket range in Australia and ending up alone and stranded on Mars where he has to figure out how to survive.

The Fate of the
Earth by Jonathan Schell
Schell "describes the countless, overlapping ways- a paroxysm of redundancy- in which human beings and other creatures of the earth would die if the existing twenty thousand megatons of bombs (with more than a million times the explosive power of the Hiroshima bomb) should ever fall. In moderate tones but in unforgettable particulars, he tells us how the world would end." Not covered in this book, but an interesting side topic is how UFOs apparently intercepted and interfered with nuclear weapons and such sites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=5Pr-C4byeNk |
