The world is scarier on a global level because of the reach nations with advanced weaponry have. The world was aways scary on a personal level and war even scarier since it was for millenia one-on-one, making it up close and personal. OTOH, at a personal level, with the advent of good local government, collective things, like fire, police, water, sewer and refuse collection have made things "better" (read less personal; less hunting and gathering)
Read "A Canticle for Liebowitz" for an insight of a possible future. Written in the 60s and won awards. A truly frightening possible world of the future.
