In Sacrifice of the Mushroom Kings, popular video game characters step into the gilded age of American capitalism, as they wander around buildings built by J.P. Morgan and Philip Lehman. Its disjointed narrative draws equally on the past and mythology, as on science fiction and contemporary culture, while referencing the timeless rise and fall of power structures.
