reviewed The Difference Engine on
I found this book interesting but "different". If I were more mechanically oriented perhaps I would rate it higher. The book takes a historical turn in the Victorian era with what was done on a different track with civilization. There was a type of "computer", "automobiles" and so forth but powered by coal. Like I said, a different book.
