In a recent interview to NPR about Michael’s last book, he analyzed the result of the presidential election of 2016, saying “I filtered the election through Danny and Amos. They did these wonderful unfinished studies about how the human imagination worked. They called it "The Undoing Project." And they studied, briefly, how people undid tragedy. So after the election, people who found the result tragic were obeying some of the rules of the imagination that Danny and Amos described: focusing on the FBI director, for example, at the end. Danny and Amos had pointed out that when people endure a tragedy and they try to undo it in their minds so that they get to some alternative reality where it didn't happen, they start at the end and they undo the last thing that happened. So they undo the field goal kicker missing the field goal, and they undo the grounder going through the legs of the first baseman in the ninth inning. ... Whereas, you know, you can think of a thousand different things that could have happened — and that were more probable [than the actions of FBI Director James Comey] — that could have ended with Trump not being president.”
