Cosa succede quando un senatore della Repubblica Italiana del 2025, esperto in appalti truccati e fake news, e un avvocato disonesto dell'Antica Roma, convinto che la Luna sia un ologramma divino, si ritrovano proiettati a Houston nel 1969? Semplice: decidono che la realtà è un errore di montaggio. Macrobio e Vanni Lesto, usando una macchina del tempo costruita da un geniale inventore, sbarcano alla NASA armati solo di cinismo e opportunismo. Scambiati per luminari stranieri, sono in realtà i leader dei movimenti negazionisti, convinti che il programma Apollo sia la più grande messinscena della storia. Ma quando la verità dei fatti li colpisce con la forza di un razzo Saturn V, la loro missione cambia: tornare nell'81 d.C.
per trasformare l'Impero Romano nella prima Startup del Tempo della storia. I due venditori di fumo, pur consapevoli che il complottismo lunare è una bufala, devono continuare a mercanteggiare le menzogne, perché non sanno vivere diversamente. Tra gatti dittatori, imperatori scomparsi nei paradossi temporali e popoli pronti a credere a qualunque cosa purché sia ben raccontata, Macrobio scoprirà la legge suprema che governa ogni epoca: non è il Sole a girare intorno alla Terra, ma sono le bugie a far girare il mondo. Un romanzo satirico e graffiante sul potere della falsa narrazione e sull'immutabile labilità dell'animo umano.
