Book Description

Publisher's Summary
The Difference Engine is an alternate history novel by William Gibson
and Bruce Sterling. It is a prime example of the steampunk sub-genre;
It posits a Victorian Britain in which great technological and social
change has occurred after entrepreneurial inventor Charles Babbage succeeded
in his ambition to build a mechanical computer called Engines.
The fierce summer heat and pollution have driven the ruling class out
of London and the resulting anarchy allows technology-hating Luddites
to challenge the intellectual elite.
A set of perforated punch cards come into the hands of the daughter
of an exicuted Luddite leader who sets out to keep them safe and discover
what secrets they contain.
