Saturday I read for a second
time since 1962 the book that I thought
`The Day After' was based on -
Philip Wylie's "Tomorrow".
It is one of his first and also
one of his few 'fictional' books.
Although it sometimes reads as if
written by a high
schooler, it conveys the effects of nuclear war
on society in much greater measure
than the ill-produced TV show could ever do.
I havn't seen any mention of it on the nets,
but then I suppose most of our prolific contributors
were not alive when it was published in 1954.

I'm pretty sure the book you meant to reference is 'Triumph' by
Phillip Wylie. If you were correct and the book 'Tomorrow' exists
then let me recommend 'Triumph' as an enjoyable(?) book on the
same subject.

Indeed, TOMORROW is actually the name of a good book by Philip Wylie.
I'd like to start a discussion that goes like this: Would the world
of today and tomorrow have been better off if the events in that
book (e.g., primitive nuclear war, annihilation of the Soviet Empire)
HAD taken place in 1955? For my opinion, there wouldn't today be a
threat to the whole race. We can continue this in net.politics, eh?
