	Description:		Today we’re looking at an essay from October of 1945 by George Orwell called “You and the Atom Bomb”. In this essay Orwell speculates on the future of the world and gets a few things right and is off target on a few other things, either way it’s good insight into the times from one of the brightest minds of the early Cold War period. He also uses the term “cold war” in this essay, before Bernard Baruch did in 1947 who gets official credit for coining the term “cold war”.
