The Last Days of the Late, Great State of California The novel describes, in retrospect, the history and culture of California, and its influence on the rest of the US, after an unspecified date in 1969, wherein the state suffers a Richter scale 9 earthquake and the populous coastal regions west of the San Andreas Fault sink into the Pacific Ocean. This is in accordance with a fictional prediction by the real life psychic Edgar Cayce. After this event, the Central Valley is inundated by the sea. The novel's epilogue lists what the world must now do without, due to this event, especially the large percentage of agricultural products that come from California. The bulk of the novel consists of the description of three regions: The north, The Central Valley, and the south. An account of the 1966 California governor's electoral campaign is central to the narrative. Also discussed in detail are the 1965 Watts riots, in detail gleaned from then-recent news reports. en.wikipedia.org Guv Raygun gets killed when the roof of the executive bathroom makes like Maxwell's hammer and comes down upon his head
