Has anyone read "The Difference Engine" by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling I am almost finished with it.
I believe I've read and own pretty much everything that Gibson has done, including the "Sprawl" and "Bridge" trilogys, "The Difference Engine" and "Pattern Recognition". So far, I have not yet acquired a copy of his
latest book".
The novel really assumes you know quite a bit about the Victorian era. Of course this makes it fun to reasearch the sub-text.
Absolutely. :-)
Some other authors you might enjoy: Richard K. Morgan; Neal Stephenson.
If you enjoy reasearching the sub-text, you will *LOVE* Stephenson's
"Baroque Cycle".
