About this Event



About the book:

Until now, no one outside official circles has known exactly what would happen if a rogue state launched a nuclear missile at the Pentagon. Second by second and minute by minute, these are the real-life protocols that choreograph the end of civilization as we know it. Based on dozens of new interviews with military and civilian experts who have built the weapons, been privy to the response plans, and taken responsibility for crucial decisions, this is the only account of what a nuclear exchange would look like.

Why we chose it: "Essential if you want to understand the complex and disturbing details that go into a civilization-destroying decision to drop the Bomb on an enemy.” - The New York Times


Delicious drinks are included, as well as engaging storytelling and space for conversations and sharing your own journeys across countries and continents.

Your hosts for the evening

Gizem Rufo

Gizem is a UX Research Manager and works on augmented reality glasses and human-computer interaction. She joined RBC to find a like-minded community of nonfiction lovers and get back into reading after having a baby.

When she is not reading, you can find her immersed in one of her bazillion hobbies like gardening, knitting and experimenting with fermenting or spending time with her family. She lives in Brooklyn and loves exploring NYC on foot.


Daniel Sun

Dan is Senior Engineering Manager at Meta, and leads the teams building the System User Interfaces and User Interactions for Meta’s Wearables Devices. Dan joined RBC because he realized that reading had become a very solo activity for him, and he missed engaging in conversations about books the way he had around the Harkness Table during his high school years.

Dan lives in Brooklyn with his two pups, and loves to cook, play StarCraft 2, follow the NBA, watch outdoor survival videos, and drink (too much?) wine.
