Now that’s an interesting question. Was the end of history a surprise ending? A twist ending? We’re talking about 1989.

Reminds me of ‘Gödel Escher Bach’ idea that if you really want a surprise ending, you’d need to hide it in the middle of the book, followed by pages and pages of cleverly disguised nonsense. twitter.com/vgr/status/120…

Pyrrhic victory ending a la Ramayana and Mahabharatha. The surprise element comes from the 'Oh. I won??....Guess I won then, shots for everybody!' feels post '89.
