The vault apocalyptia / Gar...
Set in Albuquerque, New Mexico, "The Vault Apocalyptia," a satire that lampoons the atomic age and America's rush to win the arms race, imagines a tour through the city's National Museum of Nuclear Science and History on the day of the apocalypse. Led by docent, readers meet an unruly assortment of displays, each illuminating a chapter of America's nuclear story. Exhibits stage musicals, plunder sets, plot against and usurp other exhibits, as museum benefactors and industry shills interrupt with assurance that the collection poses no threat. Over the course of the novel, the atomic century is rebuilt, from its hopeful past to its dissipated present. At its center, and ever looming, is the main attraction, the bomb, with its stark warning that we may yet end up where we're headed
