Summary

Strobe Witherspoon just sold his latest satirical novel for a lot of money. The book, FLOTUS: A Memoir, is an outlandish fictional autobiography about a former first lady of the United States reflecting on years of misery at the hands of her much older POTUS husband. When a chapter is leaked in advance of the book's publication, an Online Outrage Fiesta (OOF) ensues via news outlets, blogs, Twitter, troll farms, and everything in between. Witherspoon has his life placed under a microscope. It doesn’t go well. OOF explores the role of satire in a society lurching from one ridiculous crisis to the next, where media outlets rely on clicks to stay alive, and everything is filtered through a lens of anger and misinformation
