Summary

By the editor of The New Republic, a side-splitting, super-smart story of a voyage from the future to the past aimed at forestalling global calamity in a single stroke.

In the year 2141, the planet is ruled by billionaires, democracy is a relic, the environment is collapsing, and Illinois is home to thirty-foot alligators. When a ragtag team of scientists discovers the secret to time travel, they set their sights on history’s most infamous villain: baby Adolf Hitler.

What They're Saying

Critics Review

“…fabulous in every sense, a super-smart romp through the history—histories—of the last and next century or so…fun, thought-provoking, Kurt Vonnegut-Dr. Who-Connie Willis-Douglas Adams kind.”
—Kurt Andersen, author of True Believers

“Savagely funny, unexpected, creative, inventive—and it really explains the dark times we live in.”
—Molly Jong-Fast, author of How to Lose Your Mother

“A philosophic thriller like no other—will make you rethink everything you thought about Hitler, history, evil, and the future.”
—Ron Rosenbaum, author of Explaining Hitler

“What a gripping, funny, and wildly plausible tale this is. Mixing humor and fantasy and political rage, Michael Tomasky has produced an urgent, darkly magical fable.”
—Joseph O’Neill, author of Netherland
