Review of The Difference Engine (1990)

Text

William Gibson (writer), Bruce Sterling (writer).

My Kerberos Club 2011–2014 campaign was in part a tribute to this excellent book. The writers do get a little stuck on their darlings though. Streamlining was a foible of Raymond Loewy’s 1930s industrial design, hardly worthy of such treatment.
