Synopsis: This radio play addresses the issues of human overpopulation and global nuclear war. The play identifies reasons why global nuclear war is likely to happen and considers a scenario in which Russia prevails after the war. Scenes 1-3 describe a context in which Russia has motive, means and opportunity to initiate, wage and win a global nuclear war. Scene 4 discusses goals and objectives associated with global nuclear war and describes strategic considerations for such a war. Scenes 5 and 6 describe tactical operations in global nuclear war. Scene 7 describes planetary management operations two decades following the war and Scene 8 describes a typical domestic scene 500 years following the war. (Scenes 7 and 8 are the same as Scenes 11 and 12 of the radio play, The Planet Master.) (30 September 2018).
The Planet Master A radio play about overpopulation and nuclear war.
Synopsis. This radio play addresses the issues of human overpopulation and global nuclear war. The play describes the reasons why global nuclear war is likely to happen and considers a scenario in which Russia prevails after the war. Scene 1 describes the destruction to the biosphere that is being caused by large human numbers and industrial production. Scene 2 is a meeting with the Russian President, Prime Minister, and ministers of three portfolios – economic development, natural resources and environmental protection, and defense – in preparation for an annual presentation to Russia’s Duma. Scene 3 describes the state of Russia’s economy, and Scene 4 describes the state of its natural resources and environment. Scene 5 describes the nature and likelihood of nuclear war. Scene 6 describes goals, decision criteria, and strategy related to nuclear war. Scene 7 describes tactics for waging nuclear war. Scene 8 describes possibilities that might arise when access to important situational information is lost during nuclear war. Scene 9 describes implications of Russian goals and decision criteria, including discussion of how a small nuclear conflict could escalate to a large-scale one, and how Russia might prevail in such a war and establish a long-term-sustainable planetary management system. Scene 10 discusses long-term-sustainable population levels. Scene 11 discusses the state of the world twenty years after global nuclear war and Scene 12 describes an evening somewhere on the North American Great Plains, 500 years after the war. (29 July 2018).
