The book deals with the conflict of Order and Chaos, and serves to deconstruct the concept of the BombThrowingAnarchist (which was popular at the time) in favour of dealing with philosophical anarchism, that Chesterton felt to be actual nihilism that seeks to abolish not just government and authority, but the very concepts of good, evil, and God. It contains elements of the spy novel, MysteryFiction, {{satire}}, MagicalRealism, humour, and horror, and has also had a rather eclectic variety of fans in the literary world, including Michael Collins, Creator/JorgeLuisBorges, and Creator/FranzKafka.
