I loved this book! Fantastically written and terrifying at the same time. Reading this 60 years after it was written, I struggle with hindsight bias and wonder how we were ever so stupid, yet have we changed? Makes me wonder how stupid we'll look in another 60 years time if we keep failing to learn from past mistakes.
