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 executed Luddite leader who sets out to keep them safe and discover what secrets they contain.

I bought this book because I was very impressed by William Gibson's short stories. The writing style here is nothing likein Burning Chrome for example. The story is ridiculously primitive although I must admit I didn't make it very far, because the two characters appearing first don't manage to become interesting at all within the first 45 minutes of listening. This is a complete waste of time end can't stand listening to this any more.

What a complete waste of time
