It is June 2016 as Professor Roger Johnson of George Mason University sits in the C-SPAN studio in Washington, D.C., with executive producer Peter Slen across from him. As the live, three-hour In Depth session begins, the eighty-year-old professor reveals he's been diagnosed with throat cancer. Still, he delves into the interview with enthusiasm—he reflects on his career as a scholar; his experiences as a presidential consultant to Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, and others; and he discusses his latest book, Politics and Government in the Age of Social Media. Leading his audience on a fascinating journey, Johnson reveals how data analytics can help bring efficiency in government, how technological advances will improve future societies, and why Americans have so many reasons to be optimistic about the future of their great country. The Last Interview shares a seasoned professor's opinions and reflections as he looks back on his career, assesses the current political environment, and provides hope for the future. Fiction
