A Taste of Armageddon

Advances in modern war techniques have led to "cleaner" and "cleaner" weapons. Countries have created missiles that can pinpoint a room within a building - greatly reducing the risks to non-combatants in a war zone. However, it has been argued that wars have to be messy so people have an actual reason to avoid them. In this collection 11 authors will look at ways that warfare will advance in the future: - from a war that has determined safe zones that cannot be attacked - to a virtual war where a law still exists that can require one-tenth of the population to be killed - to a closed meeting room where world leaders order the destruction of their own people to show just how far they will go in attacking the enemy. Whether you agree with war or not, these stories will cause you to pause and think about the ways in which war is waged.
