Why people recommend it
The Last President or 1900 is a late nineteenth-century speculative novel by Ingersoll Lockwood that depicts a chaotic New York City gripped by political unrest following the unexpected victory of a populist presidential candidate. The obscure book has gained modern notoriety due to internet speculation and conspiracy theories linking its plot elements to historical American political figures. On The Joe Rogan Experience in March 2025, guest Ian Carroll discussed various alternative topics and mentioned acquiring the title as part of a three-book series that also included Lockwood's works featuring young Baron Trump. Furthermore, on Timcast IRL in October 2024, the host analyzed current political events and referenced Lockwood's 1900, or the Last President, noting how the narrative describes a New York City torn apart by massive protests after a populist candidate wins the 1896 election, ultimately triggering the downfall of the American Republic. The hosts and guests on these podcasts utilized Lockwood's forgotten fiction primarily to explore historical curiosities, internet lore, and uncanny parallels between nineteenth-century speculative writing and contemporary political discourse surrounding populist movements and political upheaval in the United States.
