"The World as I Found It" is a novel that takes the reader on a journey through various worlds and time periods. Set in Vienna in 1900, the trenches of World War I, and the dark era of Nazi Europe, the story explores the lives of three men who are navigating the complexities of the twentieth century.

At the center of the novel is Ludwig Wittgenstein, a brilliant and enigmatic philosopher who leaves a lasting impact on those around him. Wittgenstein is portrayed as a tortured and solitary figure, forging his own path while influencing the lives of others. The narrative also delves into the lives of Wittgenstein's two mentors: Bertrand Russell, a renowned philosopher and intellectual who is eager to explore new ideas and experiences, and G. E. Moore, a Cambridge don known for his influence on E. M. Forster and his devotion to intellectual pursuits and the pleasures of life.

"The World as I Found It" combines elements of history, biography, and philosophy. It explores the intertwining lives of these three men, their personal struggles, relationships, and intellectual pursuits. The novel is described as rich in humor and tragedy, passion and violence, and captures the spirit and aspirations of its characters. It is a captivating read that offers a unique perspective on the tumultuous events and ideas of the twentieth century.
