The catalog description of MASON & DIXON leads me to hastily want
to lump ther new TRP, sight unseen, into the "steampunk" category:
po-mo reimaginings of the Victorian/Edwardian era employing a
comic tone, in an attempt to fathom the roots of our present. See
Gibson & Sterling's THE DIFFERENCE ENGINE, Doctorow's WATERWORKS,
and my own THE STEAMPUNK TRILOGY. Thoughts thereon???
