Dr. Strangelove

I actually couldn't get the movie, but I read the entire script.
There is a nuclear bomb that if untriggered will automaically detonate and the world would be bare of plant and animal life within weeks. Dr. Strangelove has an idea that they could use a computer to accept certain characteristics of people. These several hundred thousand people (including military personnel) would live deep enough under ground to be safe for 100 years of the after-effects of the nuclear bomb. It is amazing they would completely rely on a computer to choose their human race legacy. The human race would continue based entirely on the technology of a computer.
