Handlingen utspelar sig från Världsutställningen i Chicago 1893 till några år efter första världskriget. Den över tusensidiga romanen utspelar sig på vitt skilda platser i Nordamerika, Europa och Asien och har ett mycket stort persongalleri av både fiktiva och verkliga personer, bland andra Nikola Tesla som förespråkar gratis elektricitet som en väg till en rättvis värld. Även verkliga händelser som den störtade kampanilen i Venedig 1902 och Tunguska-explosionen i Sibirien 1908 vävs in i handlingen.
