This is a conceptual layout for an article on the Cuban Missile Crisis written by Noam Chomsky in 2012. The initial spread was intended to be 3 separate pages but turned into a poster by the time it was completed. The type was designed to mirror the decay and chaos associated with the 13-day affair, which saw two superpowers inch closer to mutually assured destruction than ever before.
The entire piece by Noam Chomsky.
