Summary
From former New York Times reporter Nellie Bowles comes an irreverent romp through the sacred spaces of the new left.
As a Hillary voter, a New York Times reporter, and a frequent attendee at her local gay bars, Nellie Bowles fit right in with her San Francisco neighbors and friends - until she started questioning whether the progressive movement she knew and loved was actually helping people.
When her colleagues suggested that asking these questions meant she was 'on the wrong side of history,' Bowles did what any reporter worth her salt would do: she started investigating for herself. The answers she found were stranger - and funnier - than she'd expected.
In Morning After the Revolution, Bowles gives listeners a front-row seat to the absurd drama of a political movement gone mad. With irreverent accounts of attending a multi-day course on 'The Toxic Trends of Whiteness,' following the social justice activists who run 'Abolitionist Entertainment, LLC,' and trying to please the New York Times's 'disinformation czar,' she deftly exposes the more comic excesses of a movement that went from a sideshow to the very centre of Western life.
Deliciously funny and painfully insightful, Morning After the Revolution is a moment of collective psychosis preserved in amber.

Insightful!
It seems like an age ago. All these things actually happened. A really easy to listen to retelling.

So helpful for understanding what has gone on in the USA in the last few years
I heard of this book through Bari Weis and it is such a great insight into the mind virus that has swept America and thence the UK and increasingly western Europe too. Fascinating account that covers BLM, San Francisco's demise, whiteness, schools, corporations, politics, the media and more. All of this from a former fully paid up member of the woke establishment until she became 'woke' to its downside. Well written, insightful and not too long!

Hard to believe all this did & still is happening.
I read quite a lot of political/current affairs books in a bid to understand the turns our society is taking. This is one of the best. Nellie doesn’t give her opinions overly much, she doesn’t need to. The material speaks loud & clear for itself. The very repetition of much of it just beggars belief. If you hadn’t lived through it you’d think this was some kind of dark comedy and dismiss it as such. Highly recommend.

Brilliantly told stories of woke excess
Nellie stitches together great stories of the silliness and damaging results when progressives denote one group as the oppressed and therefore utterly correct in every way.

A hilarious polemic against Woke ideology by an old-fashioned “progressive”
What makes this book unique amongst the various takedowns of Woke culture is that the author is a self-described left-wing progressive. Hilarious and cutting in equal measure this is essential a satirical work of cultural history exploring why the world went mad in 2020. Although it is focused on US culture, the book transcends national borders (as a Brit I still enjoyed it immensely).

Funny, inciteful and quite sad
I loved the very warm, personal, first-person point of view. Nellie writes with a lot of wit and humanity. The depictions are mostly of personal recollections. That she came/is from the left means these lessons might reach a broader audience and her perspective - of feeling completely let down by your own side might be the book's most important quality. At the end I'd hoped for some ideas to be tied up more satisfyingly. It ends a little whimsically, but I enjoyed and learned from the book.
