From former New York Times reporter Nellie Bowles, a look at how some of the most educated people in America lost their minds&mdash and how she almost did, too. As a Hillary voter, a New York Times reporter, and frequent attendee at her local gay bars, Nellie Bowles fit right in with her San Francisco neighbors and friends&mdash until she started questioning whether the progressive movement she knew and loved was actually helping people. When her colleagues suggested that asking such questions meant she was &ldquo on the wrong side of history,&rdquo Bowles did what any reporter worth her salt would do: she started investigating for herself. The answers she found were stranger&mdash and funnier&mdash than she expected. In Morning After the Revolution, Bowles gives readers a front-row seat to the absurd drama of a political movement gone mad. With irreverent accounts of attending a multiday course on &ldquo The Toxic Trends of Whiteness,&rdquo following the social justice activists who run &ldquo Abolitionist Entertainment LLC,&rdquo and trying to please the New York Times&rsquo s &ldquo disinformation czar,&rdquo she deftly exposes the more comic excesses of a movement that went from a sideshow to the very center of American life. Deliciously funny and painfully insightful, Morning After the Revolution is a moment of collective psychosis preserved in amber. This is an unmissable debut by one of America&rsquo s sharpest journalists.
