Product Description
Set in an alternate universe, Victorian England is a land where the Information Age has dawned a century early. Sybil Gerrard faces an uncertain future - a choice between the suave Mr Radley or the enigmatic General Houston. Gibson is the author of "Count Zero" and Sterling wrote "Schismatrix".
Amazon.com Review
A collaborative novel from the premier cyberpunk authors, William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. Part detective story, part historical thriller, The Difference Engine takes us not forward but back, to an imagined 1885: the Industrial Revolution is in full and inexorable swing, powered by steam-driven, cybernetic engines. Charles Babbage perfects his Analytical Engine, and the computer age arrives a century ahead of its time.
