sissyphd 's review for:
The Last Election
by Stephen Marche, Andrew Yang
Political thriller, or near-future election prediction? “The Last Election” could be either, or both, featuring a 3rd party presidential candidate making a mark on election season and the potential consequences of an amped up political environment similar to the current state of the US. With a title like “The Last Election” I thought we were in for something a little more flashy, but this book is filled with the existential dread and slow-motion disaster that characterizes a lot of the current political environment.
Andrew Yang’s insights, and platform, as a former presidential candidate clearly played into the writing of this book. I also enjoyed the pop culture and political references, which really made this feel like it could be the 2024 election under slightly different circumstances.
Political thrillers are nearly always an automatic “YES!!” for me. I have a special place in my heart for the movie Air Force One (and Harrison Ford’s “Get off my plane!”) - and bonus points here for it being mentioned in this book!
Thank you to NetGalley and RB media for allowing me early access to this audiobook.
