The Psychotechnic History begins in the immediate aftermath of World War III. Are we living in the prelude to it? If so, then we need to heed this warning:
"...in strictly pragmatic terms, the early atomic era was the best time to resolve East-West rivalry; the crude weapons of that day could not sterilize Earth."
-Sandra Miesel IN Poul Anderson, The Complete Psychotechnic League (Riverdale, NY, October 2017), p. 3.
Or might the powers that be escalate local conflicts into a third global conflict while maintaining their tacit agreement not to deploy nukes? Thus, replay WWII: invade Poland, occupy France, besiege Britain, draw in the Americans, but without nuking anyone?
The Psychotechnic History includes "'What if World War III had not happened'?' fiction. Thus, a fictional timeline tangentially comments on the Earth Real timeline.

No one will accept complete defeat if they have nukes. "I'll take you with me" is a basic human instinct.
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
I agree. Which explains why the tyrants in Iran and N Korea are so eager to get nukes. It virtually guarantees foreign enemies cannot completely destroy or defeat them.
Ad astra! Sean
