The blurb on NetGalley seems to imply what this is, and the intro itself says it explicitly. These are not generic dystopia stories, nor are they meant to extrapolate current trends in general to their dystopic ends. These short (very short) stories are simply meant to attack President Trump for his approach to the issues before him. They are hastily written, slapped together fast enough to get them to market while the topics were current. There was little thought to their content and assembly beyond that, just grab any writer claiming to write SF who hates Trump and get him/her to dash something off that can be used to feed off of the emotions of the left-leaning public. They are so obviously propaganda that I wonder if they should fall under Political Fiction rather than SF.

The intro says the book will make some readers mad but I'm not mad. I just don't want to waste me time reading "stories" that really aren't. I think dystopias peaked w/ the YA fad and I doubt they can be made relevant again any time soon.

1 star for trying to profit off of this.
