The protagonist is a fictional character going through real events and encountering real characters from the end of 19th century Europe. Having started as a petty notary, he quickly discovers a huge market for forging antisemitic material and publishing it as conspiracy theories that turn out very marketable and in demand among a variety of Europe's competing institutions of the times, from governments and churches to secretive practitioners of occult arts and spy networks of all sorts. It turns out, and this is the main premise of the novel, that all of them hate the Jews equally, and the same antisemitic conspiracy theories are consumed by all of them with equal passion regardless of the distinctions and antagonisms that exist between them. All one has to do is to fit the same antisemitic tropes into their preferred narratives, both of these already established and requiring no additional intellectual effort to produce.

Monetizing antisemitism is nothing new. The only thing that changes is the technology that enables it.
