Eric Schlosser Quote
Nuclear weapons may well have made deliberate war less likely, Sagan now thought, but the complex and tightly coupled nuclear arsenal we have constructed has simultaneously made accidental war more likely. Researching The Limits of Safety left him feeling pessimistic about our ability to control high-risk technologies. The fact that a catastrophic accident with a nuclear weapon has never occurred, Sagan wrote, can be explained less by good design than good fortune.
