The novel is a satire on SF in which the protagonist finds himself on an alternate Earth in which some aspects of SF pulp literature are real. The protagonist is a science fiction editor from our world who has been trapped in the sort of universe that only an especially annoying [[SF fan]] would dream up.

The fan, Joe Doppleburg, is the hero Dopelle in this [[pulpish]] world.  Who Doppleburg was modeled on is an open question.  Some have suggested that [[Walt Dunkleberger]] was one of the prototypes.  [[New York]] fan [[Joe Schaumberger]] has also been suggested.  (There was apparently a discussion of this in the [[letter column]] of a 1949 issue of ''[[Startling Stories]]''.
