Wonderful essay. WWII has been on my mind a lot and your comments about popular fiction and science fiction of the 50's and 60's are spot on. I was reminded of how Lafcadio Hearn's essay on Ants (written around 1910) really surprised me. He was writing science fiction before science fiction was invented! I'll try to post his essay on my Substack.

Did you read Charlie Kaufman's ANTKIND?
It might be one of the worst books ever written, but it's still worth reading.
