tankabanditka [31]

The detail that provides the most cultural context from the excerpt about the Cold War is the following: <em>There was also a sense of urgency. The Pentagon was worried that the shattered remains of the Soviet Union might be rebuilt before the United States. </em>That phrase gives the most cultural context reference about the Cold War as there was a constant tension between both powers. There were plenty of different possible scenarios in which either of them would win over the other one, including a possible nuclear war. The sensation of uncertainty was reigning through the Cold War era.

This excerpt belongs to the book called "Visions: how Science will revolutionize the 21st Century" written by American theoretical physicist Michio Kaku and first published in 1997.
