Lovedthe book is fascinating often satirical occasionally hilariously weird in its Take On The dehumanizing Madness of nuclear war and the idea that such a cataclysm would even be winnable
Level 7 (1959)
Creators: Loved A chillingly calm first person account of Armageddon, from the point of view of a low-level military functionary. This account should make you think, and should terrify you.

Iain BanksThe man known as Cheradenine Zakalwe was one of Special Circumstances' foremost agents, changing the destiny of planets to suit the Culture through intrigue, dirty tricks and military action. The woman known as Diziet Sma had plucked him from obscurity and pushed him towards his present eminence, but despite all their dealings she did not know him as well as she thought. The drone known as Skaffen-Amtiskaw knew both of these people. It had once saved the woman's life by massacring her attackers in a particularly bloody manner. It believed the man to be a burnt-out case. But not even its machine could see the horrors in his past. Ferociously intelligent, both witty and horrific, USE OF WEAPONS is a masterpiece of science fiction.
