A brief synopsis about it?

can't give a good one because i'm only like 20% through it but there is a troop of kids piloting a blimp, and pinkerton, an apprentice to tesla set to inherit a fortune, and an anarchist that i remember. it's heavily anarchist and marxist in theme, with many references to class warfare. so far there have been a couple really brilliant passages, one of a zionist staring down an elephant (lol), and another about a mythical threat leveling a city while the christians change their fundamental icons to appease it. so far it takes place in around 1900 and i think the earlier part was 1890 (can't remember). there is a hilarious part about young franz ferdinand.

Sounds really good, I'll hope you keep posting your opinion about it or when you finish the book I hope you give an extended view of it. Thanks for the reply.
