Isao Hashimoto's visualization of the nuclear detonations between 1945-1998

Today the BP posted Isao Hashimoto's visualization of the nuclear detonations between 1945-1998 with the caption, "The World Has Already Ended." It actually illustrates one of his pet points, that we are already living in what is essentially a post-apocalyptic landscape. Certainly one that has been irrevocably altered by the presence of humans

Ah good; I am waiting for The Girls of Atomic City from the library and am glad to hear it isn't entirely dire.

We are already living in what is essentially a post-apocalyptic landscape. Certainly one that has been irrevocably altered by the presence of humans.

Doubly so in the case of North America, where humans altered the landscape and then were wiped out by disease when European settlers showed up...
