One Tough Read

As used here with controlled repetitions, the [Fibonacci] sequence gives the whole an almost medieval sense of restriction. Abstracted cold war fears and post-'70s ecological concern and alienation give way to litanies of real world outrages ... which culminate in a post-nuclear holocaust nightmare, with birds and children somehow having survived in caves. The scenario may seem dated, but the threats remain very real, and Christensen's poetic appeal for sanity and humanity remains an abstracted call to action

Wow...I read it, but did not realize how intense it really was. So I re-read it again. And will probably have to again one day.
