Major events and characters are cleverly adapted, with familiar names and locations offering a humorous twist on the original narrative. Readers encounter a lively and socially reflective tale that stands on its own, requiring no prior knowledge of The Aeneid. Additionally, the narrative connects Virgil's myth of the Roman Empire to the emergence of the digital age, adding a contemporary layer to the story.
