SciFi elements in "Gravity's Rainbow"?

[Tom Beshear]

I'm referring to The Plot Against America, and specifically alt history 
fiction written by others. The Counterlife's kind of a different critter, 
alternative versions of persons and events, if I remember correctly. It's 
been ages since I read it. Literary in approach and non-genre.
