Book Description
The flickering oil lamp casting long shadows on the damp concrete walls. Canned food stacked high, the air thick with the metallic tang of fear and survival. This is the image of the bunker that often haunts our imagination, a relic of a Cold War past. But the modern bunker has shed its dusty skin, emerging as a symbol of something far more complex and intriguing. This book delves into the fascinating world of these subterranean sanctuaries, shattering the stereotypes and revealing a spectrum of designs and motivations. We journey beyond the prepper stereotype, exploring the diverse individuals and communities seeking refuge in these high-tech havens. From luxury survival condos to self-sufficient Earthships, we dissect the engineering marvels and intricate planning behind their construction. But this book is not just about concrete and steel. It is about the human story unfolding within these self-contained worlds. We delve into the psychological impact of underground living, exploring strategies for building community, fostering mental well-being, and thriving in confined spaces. We examine the ethical considerations of resource allocation and the potential impact on broader society. Finally, we peer into the future, envisioning advancements that will shape the next generation of bunkers. We ponder the possibility of these shelters evolving into permanent residences, and delve into the societal implications of such a shift. This book is an invitation to explore the modern bunker not just as a physical structure, but as a window into our evolving relationship with fear, preparedness, and ultimately, ourselves. It is a story of resilience, resourcefulness, and the human spirit's enduring quest for security and comfort, even in the face of the unknown. So, join us on this subterranean adventure, and prepare to have your perception of the modern bunker irrevocably transformed.

Book Description
Since prehistory, bunkers have been built as protection from cataclysmic social and environmental forces, and as places of power and transformation. Today, the bunker has become the extreme expression of our greatest fears- from pandemics to climate change and nuclear war. And once you look, it doesn't take long to start seeing bunkers everywhere. In Bunker, acclaimed urban explorer and cultural geographer Bradley Garrett explores the global and rapidly growing movement of 'prepping' for social and environmental collapse, or 'Doomsday'. From the 'dread merchants' hustling safe spaces in the American mid-West to eco-fortresses in Thailand, from geoscrapers to armoured mobile bunkers, Bunker is a brilliant, original and never less than deeply disturbing story from the frontlines of the way we live now, an illuminating reflection on our age of disquiet and dread that brings it into new, sharp focus. The bunker, Garrett shows, is all around us, in malls, airports, gated communities, the vehicles we drive. Most of all, he shows, it's in our minds.

Book Description
Now a 6-part mini-series called Why the Rest of Us Die airing on VICE TV! The shocking truth about the government’s secret plans to survive a catastrophic attack on US soil—even if the rest of us die—is “a frightening eye-opener” (Kirkus Reviews) that spans the dawn of the nuclear age to today, and "contains everything one could possibly want to know" (The Wall Street Journal). Every day in Washington, DC, the blue-and-gold first Helicopter Squadron, codenamed “MUSSEL,” flies over the Potomac River. As obvious as the Presidential motorcade, most people assume the squadron is a travel perk for VIPs. They’re only half right: while the helicopters do provide transport, the unit exists to evacuate high-ranking officials in the event of a terrorist or nuclear attack on the capital. In the event of an attack, select officials would be whisked by helicopters to a ring of secret bunkers around Washington, even as ordinary citizens were left to fend for themselves. “In exploring the incredible lengths (and depths) that successive administrations have gone to in planning for the aftermath of a nuclear assault, Graff deftly weaves a tale of secrecy and paranoia” (The New York Times Book Review) with details "that read like they've been ripped from the pages of a pulp spy novel" (Vice). For more than sixty years, the US government has been developing secret Doomsday strategies to protect itself, and the multibillion-dollar Continuity of Government (COG) program takes numerous forms—from its potential to evacuate the Liberty Bell from Philadelphia to the plans to launch nuclear missiles from a Boeing-747 jet flying high over Nebraska. Garrett M. Graff sheds light on the inner workings of the 650-acre compound, called Raven Rock, just miles from Camp David, as well as dozens of other bunkers the government built for its top leaders during the Cold War, from the White House lawn to Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado to Palm Beach, Florida, and the secret plans that would have kicked in after a Cold War nuclear attack to round up foreigners and dissidents and nationalize industries. Equal parts a presidential, military, and cultural history, Raven Rock tracks the evolution of the government plan and the threats of global war from the dawn of the nuclear era through the War on Terror.
