I saw the movie and then decided to listen to the audiobook, because sometimes the book has more detail or differs from the movie. In this case it’s both. The book tell us plenty about Michael Hess that’s not in the movie. Michael was gay, an expert on gerrymandering, worked for the RNC and the White House during the Reagan years right at the start of the AIDS crisis.
