Spanning the period between the Chicago World's Fair of 1893 and the years just after World War One, 'Against the Day' moves from the labour troubles in Colorado to turn-of-the-century New York, to London and Gottingen, Venice and Vienna, and one or two places not strictly speaking on the map at all. Spanning the period between the Chicago World's Fair of 1893 and the years just after World War I, Against the Day moves from the labour troubles in Colorado to turn-of-the-century New York; from London to Venice, to Siberia, to Mexico during the revolution; silent-era Hollywood, and one or two places not strictly speaking on the map at all. It is a time of unrestrained corporate greed, false religiosity, moronic fecklessness, and evil intent in high places. Maybe it's not the world, but with a minor adjustment or two it's what the world might be.
