Publisher's summary

This near-future political satire about the election of a new president argues that socialism and populism will eventually give rise to chaos and disaster.

Authored by Ingersoll Lockwood - around whom conspiracy theories concerning the sci-fi/fantasy character Baron Trump now abound - 1900, Or: The Last President is notable for both its clairvoyance and its reflection on the social movements and political climate of its time.

very monotone it made my eyes cross

The story is definitely dated but keeping that in mind it's very interesting. It shows that people had the same fears over a hundred years ago that some people still have today.

Quick Read

Disturbing, suspenseful, and provocative. This quick book really forces readers to imagine such a possibility.

A very familiar scenario

I can't get over how the "events" of the book is so similar to the corruption going on today.

great description current admin. not named Trump.

great book, high vocabulary, but doesn't describe Trump by name. otherwise it's pretty accurate. felt misleading by saying author had predicted Trump. lots of similarities sure, but there's a twist to the analogy.
