* Averted to hell and back (especially if things go wrong!) in ''[[The Anarchist Cookbook]]''.
* In the afterword to [[Tom Clancy]]'s ''[[The Sum of All Fears]]'' ([[Jack Ryan|book]], not movie), Clancy admits to fudging some details of the workings and construction of nuclear weapons, in an effort to not help anyone with unkind intentions involving nukes (though he also acknowledges, if somewhat cynically, it probably won't actually stop anything).
** The author of ''[[The Salvation War]]'' did the same thing, and when one of his readers pointed out the error, he said it was standard procedure.
