Sales of dystopian books surge after Trump election win

IN THE WAKE OF DONALD TRUMP WINNING THE PRESIDENCY… BOOKS ABOUT DEMOCRACY, DYSTOPIA, TYRANNY, FEMINISM AND FAR-RIGHT POLITICS ARE RAPIDLY CLIMBING BESTSELLER CHARTS.

ACCORDING TO AMAZON – THE DYSTOPIAN NOVEL “THE HANDMAID’S TALE,” WHICH TAKES PLACE IN A THEOCRATIC, MALE-DOMINATED FUTURE AMERICA WHERE THE CONSTITUTION IS SUSPENDED, MEDIA IS CENSORED AND WOMEN ARE FORCED TO BEAR CHILDREN FOR THE RULING CLASS – WENT UP NEARLY 7-THOUSAND PERCENT IN ONLY ONE DAY.

IT WENT FROM 209 ON AMAZON’S LIST OF BESTSELLERS – TO 3.

AND IT’S NOT THE ONLY BOOK ASSOCIATED WITH TOTALITARIANISM THAT ROSE IN THE RANKINGS.

SALES OF GEORGE ORWELL’S “19-84” SURGED 250 PERCENT… MAKING IT THE 14-TH BESTSELLER…

AND RAY BRADBURY’S “FAHRENHEIT 4-51” JUMPED TO 16-TH PLACE WITH SALES UP 300 PERCENT.

OF COURSE, IT’S NOT JUST THOSE WHO ARE DISPLEASED WITH TRUMP’S WIN WHO ARE TURNING TO THE SHELVES – SOON-TO-BE-FIRST-LADY-AGAIN MELANIA TRUMP’S BOOK AND VICE PRESIDENT-ELECT J-D VANCE’S MEMOIR REMAIN POPULAR AND HAVE SEEN A BOOST IN SALES SINCE TUESDAY NIGHT.

WITH THE SELF-TITLED “MELANIA” IN FIRST PLACE IN AMAZON’S RANKING… WHILE VANCE’S “HILLBILLY ELEGY” WAS NUMBER 6 AS OF FRIDAY MORNING.
