MacKenzie Scott Debuts Dystopian Dual-Presidency Tale on Substack

MacKenzie Scott, Jeff Bezos’ ex, is releasing her third novel as a Substack serialization called Last Days in Two Nations, a 320-page dystopian tale about a fascist United States ruled by two rival leaders—one a sex-obsessed president in the White House and the other a South Africa–raised surgeon—who navigate a divided nation; the work began Aug 8 with dense daily installments that subscribers can read for free, and early reception is mixed among critics while Scott’s philanthropic profile and Princeton-Toni Morrison connection are noted.
