The Difference Engine — Narrated Edition

From William Gibson, Bruce Sterling comes The Difference Engine, available as a complete audiobook for Mystery listeners.

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 executed Luddite leader who sets out to keep them safe and discover what secrets they contain. The Difference Engine is an alternate history novel by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling.
