[off topic]

One of the biggest mind fuck novels I ever read was "The Iron Dream' by Norman Spinrad.

On one level it's a 'hero's journey' story about an exiled prince who returns to his homeland and defeats a bunch of evil mind controlling wizards. Lots of excitement and adventure and terrific battles.

The fucked up part is that it's the last novel Adolph Hitler wrote after migrating to America in 1921.

Hitler was a popular illustrator who eventually felt confident enough to start writing in English. He was a popular figure at conventions and had a huge fandom.

I'm very confused, but I have to go into work. Can someone summarize for my lazy ass what the fuck is going on here?

You picked the wrong guy to ask.

Read the wikipedia article. It makes more sense but still a mindfuck
