The Armageddon Letters innovatively and emotively... attempts to reverse the presumed apathy of young people toward nuclear holocaust... [Blight and Lang] succeed as pioneers; their transmedia presentation is a great means of waking up a new generation to history and its lessons. ... Blight draws creative connections that grab our attention. ... the authors achieve their heartfelt intention of saturating us with warnings about a nuclear disaster. This multimedia and transmedia project largely works... We are fortunate that we are sitting here now to read about Armageddon, rather than having experienced it-and that second chance is what Blight and Lang have so cleverly marketed to us.
