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.

A NEW STATESMAN BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020 'An extraordinary achievement . . . gripping, grim and witty' Robert MacFarlane 'Unputdown-able ... No book could be more timely' Richard J Evans 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.

"Nuclear Bunkers" tells the previously undisclosed story of the secret defence structures built by the West during the Cold War years. The book describes in fascinating detail a vast umbrella of radar stations that spanned the North American continent and the north Atlantic from the Aleutian islands through Canada to the North Yorkshire moors, all centred upon an enormous secret control centre buried hundreds of feet below Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado. This is complemented in the United Kingdom with a chain of secret radars codenamed 'Rotor' built in the early 1950's, and eight huge, inland sector control centres, built over 100' underground at enormous cost. The book reveals the various bunkers built for the U.S Administration, including the Raven Rock alternate war headquarters (the Pentagon's wartime hideout), the Greenbrier bunker for the Senate and House of Representatives, and the Mount Weather central government headquarters amongst others. Developments in Canada, including the Ottawa 'Diefenbunker' and the regional government bunkers are also studied. In the UK there were the London bunkers and the Regional War rooms built in the 1950's to protect against the Soviet threat, and their replacement in 1958 by much more hardened, underground Regional Seats of Government in the provinces, and the unique Central Government War Headquarters at Corsham. Also included in the UK coverage is the UK Warning and Monitoring Organisation with its underground bunkers and observation posts, as well as the little known bunkers built by the various local authorities and by the public utilities. Finally the book examines the provision, (or more accurately, lack of provision), of shelter space for the general population, comparing the situation in the USA and the UK with some other European countries and with the Soviet Union.

The militarized legacy of the digital cloud: how the cloud grew out of older network technologies and politics. We may imagine the digital cloud as placeless, mute, ethereal, and unmediated. Yet the reality of the cloud is embodied in thousands of massive data centers, any one of which can use as much electricity as a midsized town. Even all these data centers are only one small part of the cloud. Behind that cloud-shaped icon on our screens is a whole universe of technologies and cultural norms, all working to keep us from noticing their existence. In this book, Tung-Hui Hu examines the gap between the real and the virtual in our understanding of the cloud. Hu shows that the cloud grew out of such older networks as railroad tracks, sewer lines, and television circuits. He describes key moments in the prehistory of the cloud, from the game “Spacewar” as exemplar of time-sharing computers to Cold War bunkers that were later reused as data centers. Countering the popular perception of a new “cloudlike” political power that is dispersed and immaterial, Hu argues that the cloud grafts digital technologies onto older ways of exerting power over a population. But because we invest the cloud with cultural fantasies about security and participation, we fail to recognize its militarized origins and ideology. Moving between the materiality of the technology itself and its cultural rhetoric, Hu's account offers a set of new tools for rethinking the contemporary digital environment.

“Draws on previously classified documents to reveal the sums spent on underground shelters for British and American leaders during the Cold War.” —Publishers Weekly Cold War Secret Nuclear Bunkers tells the previously undisclosed story of the secret defence structures built by the West during the Cold War years. Author Nick McCamley reveals the various bunkers built for the U.S. Administration, including the Raven Rock alternate war headquarters (the Pentagon’s wartime hideout), the Greenbrier bunker for the Senate and House of Representatives, and the Mount Weather central government headquarter, as well as developments in Canadas and extensive coverage of the UK, including the London bunkers and Regional War rooms built in the 1950s to protect against Soviet threat. The book examines the provision, (or more accurately, lack of provision), of shelter space for the general population, comparing the situation in the USA and the UK with some other European countries and with the Soviet Union. McCamley also provides in fascinating detail the vast umbrella of radar stations that spanned the North American continent and the north Atlantic from the Aleutian Islands through Canada to the North Yorkshire moors, all centered upon an enormous secret control center buried hundreds of feet below Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado. This is complemented in the United Kingdom with a chain of secret radars codenamed ‘Rotor’ built in the early 1950’s, and eight huge, inland sector control centers, built over 100’ underground at enormous cost.
