Barack Obama is the greatest threat White America has ever faced.For some reason I've always enjoyed watching SciFi shows like The Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, and Black Mirror but I've never been a fan of reading SciFi. I don't know why, Its just always been true. When I first saw The Obama Inheritance, I assumed it was an Obama bashing book written by Republican lunatics. I was very happy to discover that it was in fact just the opposite. The Obama Inheritance is a collection of stories based
Consistently amazing loving homages to noir stylePLUSstory concepts that are top top shelf!
These short stories were a great, mind-bending, imaginative trip, and the The Obama Inheritance book cover itself is worth the purchase price. Conspiracy theories conjured during Obama's terms as President, on their own, were nutty and off the rails of reality. The authors take the conspiracy theories and thrust them into another dimension, resulting in thought provoking tales of action, fear, comedy, despair and hope.
This was a fun read. Authors dive into their favorite Obama conspiracy theories crafting ridiculous short stories. Some made me laugh, some made me mad, and some made me roll my eyes. Russian bots, white supremacists, lizard people, thought control, time travel, secret societies, government plots, aliens... these stories have it all. Great read.
A fun, funny collection of stories that take on the right-wing conspiracy theories of the Obama era. Two feature lizard people. I liked Obama as a Vulcan (or Vuhlk'n). The strongest story I feel is Brother's Keeper that also served as a critique of some of Obama's discourse on race. After reading We Were Eight Years In Power, I understood the message much better. As with any collection, some are better than others. Good read for anyone needing help getting through the current administration.
I received this book for free from Goodreads.I enjoyed one or two of the fifteen short stories contained in this pulp political satire gathering. A lot of the stories started out okay, but I quickly lost interest for various reasons. Some of the stories were very formulaic and predictable, many were just plain meh, while others contained so many n-words that I lost track of what the story was supposed to be about. The theme was intriguing and full of potential – play out the conspiracy theories
Somewhat uneven, but overall entertaining conceit and execution.
A mixed bag for sure, but brimming with ominous angles, and usually a hoot (to boot)
The pitch for this anthology sounded right up my street – 15 stories where the basic instruction for each writer was: “Pick any conservative conspiracy theory about President Barack Obama – no matter how loopy – and just run with it.” The result – at least for me – is disappointing. For the most part, the stories here either aren’t very well written or don’t really follow the instructions – at least as far as I understood them. Maybe I misunderstood the overall premise, but it seems like at leas...
Fun, pulpy goodness. One story is heavily metaphorical, so it took me a while to figure out its presence in this collection. One story is straight out of the '50s and is decidedly hohum. The rest of the stories are quite entertaining and occasionally hilarious.

What a joy to discover this collection of short stories, all expertly crafted around the satirical premise: What if all the right-wing conspiracy theories about The Deep State are foundationally true? The 15 pulp-noir stories are all over the map and wrought by some of the finest authors alive, including Walter Mosley, Robert Silverberg and the collection's editor, Gary Phillips.They're all first-rate, but among my favorites: "The Continuing Mission" by Adam Lance Garcia, "A Different Frame of R...
A book sure to be disparaged by dullards and alt-right folks. For everyone else, this is dystopia for big kids at its best. Stories like Kate Flora's Michelle in Hot Water and Forked Tongue by Lise McClendon, are smart and can get the reader into wishful thinking mode. Several, including True Skin, A Different Frame of Reference and Sunburnt Country are scary in their dark possibility as future realities. Then There's Nisi Shawl's Evens, a story everyone who felt gypped by the Republicans after
In this fun, wacky, mind-bending collection, top-notch writers play with the concept of conspiracy about the presidency of Obama. Some really far-out ideas make this an interesting grouping, and show how different stories can be despite a similar theme. You never know if you'll meet super-spies, lizard-people, or be thrust into an apocalyptic landscape. Good writing and different ideas make this a book to be read, no matter what your political views, despite the negs from treason-trolls trying t...
Perhaps I just wasn't in the right frame of mind when I read this. Some of the stories are pretty good and others leave much to be desired, also the writing styles and subject matter are all over the place.But as we are constantly bombarded with political stuff in our daily lives, do we really need some fictionalized, mostly sci-fi, c0nspiracy theories about Obama and Trump?Parts of it were fun for me, but it got tiresome after reading the first few. Nevertheless I plowed ahead to finish it. Ah
