Mission Improbable: Using Fantasy Documents to Tame Disaster 2nd edition
Lee Clarke
This text examines actual attempts to "prepare" for catastrophes and finds that the policies adopted by corporations and government agencies are fundamentally rhetorical: the plans have no chance to succeed, yet they serve both the organizations and the public as symbols of control and stability.
