AD: Brian Merchant

"American politics is a violent sport, and it's only been as tranquil as it is for a few short decades. What you’re about to read is fiction. It takes place in the not-too-distant future, but the possibilities it contains—while arguably farfetched—are much too real for my story to be called science fiction. This, according to the experts, is a very plausible way that the convention could implode—and implode in a way that the Stop Trump movement could plausibly orchestrate."
 
I didn’t realize it until after I finished this one, but I totally aped the final scene of Jurassic Park.
