p. pr. & vb. n. {Screaming}.] 

I have always read the opening sentence as a human cry particularized by, kinda coterminous with
(via synchronicity; in a non-causal linkage---thinking of synchronicity came later, of course, when the book gives that clue)  one V-2 rocket standing for all of them in war, this WW2 war ....which we are going to learn about real soon.

Screaming is the worst human outcry for the most anti-human acts via technology.

TRP has screaming heard under the silicon sands in AtD....

Where else?
