Fallout

Many theories have been proposed on what exactly would take place post nuclear war via multiple works of fiction. Stories like "There Will Come Soft Rains" and even games such as the Fallout series present their own ideas on what the world will be like after it has been engulfed in nuclear fire. These representations are all incredibly interesting and provocative. However, in the story, "Searching for Summer," readers are presented with a world where most have given up hope. Interestingly enough…

own atomic bombs. This began to make many Americans paranoid and to begin protecting themselves of what was to come. Many people began to build fallout shelters to protect themselves.

Terrific Art Direction While Fallout 4 by no means is a graphical powerhouse; its overall art direction is absolutely stunning. In my opinion, there are few--if any--other companies doing destroyed quite as beautifully as Bethesda.

What were to follow was a race to develop these bombs many of the world’s…

During these years, many important things happened, many things were invented, and World War III almost happened on many different occasions.
