S3E73 -Chapter Seventy-Three: The Queen Of Engines!

On THE DIFFERENCE ENGINE, by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling

Clank Clank, Cheerio, old tops, and welcome to the first of our shows this season delving into the fraught sub-subgenre of steampunk! Anachronism is involved, of course, as this first work officially dubbed "steampunk" is actually a lot later than many other works that were retroactively incorporated into the genre, but it really draws into focus the politics and cultural values that surround it...and that most other steampunk works pointedly ignore.

Support us on Patreon and listen to the bonus-length, uncut version! Plus, listen to the show a week early!
