[QUOTE="Radagast, post: 74986249, member: 20522"] It's a frequently explored concept. It depends on how much damage was done. [IMG]https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1303106706l/1112033.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d2/A_Canticle_for_Leibowitz_cover_1st_ed.jpg[/IMG] But it's likely that the military forces that you need to exercise control would be the targets of the worst bombing. Electronics would take a big hit as well, and without communications, nation-wide control would be impossible. Food riots would be massive (COVID-19 has shown us how fragile the food distribution infrastructure is). A "tough local town mayor" pretty much is a "warlord." How sensible the mayor is will depend on how much PTSD everybody has. Technical guilds will need textbooks from before about 1930. The 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica will be in high demand. Few of those exist [B]now[/B], never mind post-apocalypse. Education would take a big hit. Much science would be forgotten. Without good education, many ancient books would be misinterpreted. There's a clue in the way Muslim civilisation treated Aristotle. Some of Aristotle's writing on rhetoric concerned theatre, but there were no theatres in Muslim civilisation. So everything that Aristotle said on the subject was just totally misinterpreted. [/QUOTE]
