NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—Calling himself “a master storyteller on a par with Arthur C. Clarke, Philip K. Dick, and Frank Herbert,” JD Vance revealed on Tuesday that he is turning the stories he has created on the campaign trail into a sci-fi trilogy.
Called “Wokemare,” the books depict “a dystopia ruled by a liberal elite, where the human race faces extinction because women have selfishly chosen to have careers,” Vance said. “It’s up to a federation of brave tech founders to reestablish order.”
Despite Vance’s reputation as a prolific creator of fiction, his manuscript has received a cool reception from publishers, insiders say.
One editor who read the trilogy called it “pretty weak,” adding, “Margaret Atwood did it better.”
