This was a great exercise in critical "What If" thinking. It's a fictional retelling of history of what could have happened if the Inca had travelled to Europe and conquered Spain instead of the other way around. It didn't really focus on long term repercussions (Industrial Revolution, Renaissance, etc.) but happened during the Lutheran upheaval of the 16th century and how religious tolerance might have been different under their leadership rather than the Christian church.
