The Difference Engine

I also picked up, I found it at a charity shop in Ottawa.

I haven't read it yet, but it's The Difference Engine and talks about Charles Babbage's.

And I think he wrote that together with Bruce Sterling, if I'm not mistaken too.

So that's,

All-round top lad.

Which was called the Difference Engine, but it kind of got taken over by other more complex electronic designs instead of mechanical ones.

So this book by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling is called The Difference Engine.

And it's during the Industrial Revolution, Charles Babbage actually completed The Difference Engine.

And that became a big thing far earlier instead of electrical computers.

Ah, interesting.

Oh, it's fiction? Yeah, it's fiction.

Because it never happened.

Ah, yes, here we go.

The Difference Engine.

I don't know why I can't speak to it.

The Difference Engine by William Gibson.
