The World of Tomorrow by Brendan Mathews

3.0

An ambitious book with many nice turns of phrase, but the plot is convoluted and a lot of the characters disappear for long stretches of the story. Also, the (admittedly beautiful) cover is misleading--very little of the story actually relates to the World's Fair, and I would even say that New York City in general is underused as a setting. This book seems very modeled on Kevin Baker's writing, but his books are more evocative.
