What inspired me to write “The Machinery of Government” from It’s Not the End and Other Lies

I’m posting summaries, background and other tidbits about some of the stories from my collection It’s Not the End and Other Lies, which is only available through the Exclusive Dark Fantasy and SF Bundle – Curated by Douglas Smith. This bundle offers 11 ebooks of science fiction, fantasy and horror for only $15! But, it’s only available until September 9, 2020.

Minor spoilers follow, but nothing
