And as it progressed, it moved from this commentary

to a multi-week, real-time science fiction epic

in which your protagonist, Rahm Emanuel,

engages in multi-dimensional travel on election day,

which is -- it didn't actually happen.

I double checked the newspapers.

And then, very interestingly, it came to an end.

This is something that doesn't usually happen

with a Twitter parody account.

It ended, a true narrative conclusion.

And so the author, Dan Sinker, who was a journalist,

who was completely anonymous this whole time,

I think Dan -- it made a lot of sense for him

to turn this into a book,

because it was a narrative format in the end,

and I think that turning it into a book

is representative of this idea that he had created something new

that needed to be translated into previous formats.

One of my favorite examples

of something that's happening on Twitter right now,

actually, is the very absurdist Crimer Show.
