Description
How did Smokey Fontaine throw out the entire government and start over?
Reports vary. In the span of a single year, Smokey went from an obscure voice on random podcasts to the driving force of American politics, ending fifty years of gridlock.
In 2042, eight years after his inauguration, Smokey Fontaine: An Oral History gathers the voices of those closest to his campaign and presidency, all trying to answer the same question: how did he do it?
Rumors of secret backchannels persist—though his internet-first campaign unfolded entirely in public.
What really happened depends on who you ask.
Advance Praise
“He didn’t change America. He tricked everyone into thinking the parties were the problem.” —Kip Kippers, former news anchor, Kip Kippers Tonight
“He was a president under the age of sixty, with a full head of hair. It’s not a mystery.” —Janice Cooper, podcaster, Sextalk
“Park rangers and librarians? Where did you hear that? I have no idea what you’re talking about.” —Bob Piddlestitch, campaign manager, Fontaine for America
“Eight years ago, we finally had a president remove money from politics, even though Washington tried to stop him. Just that one achievement would make him the best president we’ve ever had. Then he did everything else."—Jake Wallace, MSNN
