And I quote from the font of all BS with a tiny bit of Truth

Futurism[edit]

Although the book was published in 1932, the setting is an unspecified near future, shortly after the “Anglo-Nicaraguan wars of 1946”. It refers to future social and demographic changes, such as the changing neighbourhoods of London: Mayfair has become a slum and Lambeth is fashionable.[7]

The book contains technological developments that Gibbons thought might have been invented by then, such as TV phones and air-taxis, so the novel has been compared to science fiction.[8]
