It's hard to describe, but so far quite fascinating. The first fifty or so pages take place sometime in the near future, and Britain seems to have become an Islamic Republic. There's chaos and war around the world, and climate change has only gotten worse.

The second section, so far, seems to take place during WWI.

I know this will all tie together.
