After the dazzling international success of "The God of Little Things," Arundhati Roy, after a long absence, returned to India to find a country dominated by a climate of exalted patriotism. The nationalist coups proclaimed the strength of India thanks to its nuclear power. The escalation of tension with neighboring Pakistan resulted in a series of demonstrations of force consisting of performing atomic tests in desert areas near the border that were answered by the other State with new explosions. In this brief and devastating report, the extraordinary novelist Arundhati Roy puts his writing at the service of a just and necessary cause: the denunciation of the use of nuclear energy for warlike purposes. And it addresses the hypocrisy surrounding the issue, these weapons are presented as guarantors of peace through "deterrence", the new situation created after the geopolitical changes brought about by the end of the cold war and access to this armament of third countries "The end of the imagination" is an indignant and committed denunciation of a shameful situation, because "it is crazy to believe that nuclear weapons are only mortal if are used. The fact that they exist, their very presence in our lives, will do more damage than we can even imagine. Nuclear weapons permeate our thinking. They determine our behavior. Our societies rule. They give content to our dreams. They penetrate like hooks to hang meat at the base of our brain. They are providers of madness. They are the last colonizer. "
