Setting + Comparison | Maggot Moon

Maggot Moon is set sometime in 1955~1975 when the space race was on. (I have a theory that it could also be a future where humans rebuilt and forgot about going to the moon before.) The space race is one of the main events in the book and there are many mentions about it. The location is most likely somewhere in Germany with a lot of right arms being raised and heels being clicked, likely to give the impression of a closely watching government. A lot of people are affected greatly by unseen characters who are only mentioned as "them" or "the Motherland".
