James Goodby has done us a great service in addressing the nuclear tipping point from the perspective of one engaged in nuclear diplomacy for decades while gaining a fresh perspective in Silicon Valley about the role of technology in shaping nuclear risks and opportunities. Today’s complex politics will be well informed by Goodby’s reflections on the intersection of governance, technology and nuclear security and on the need for renewed focus on avoiding nuclear catastrophe. I strongly recommend this timely contribution to the critical discussion about nuclear security in a rapidly changing world.
