Steampunk

[Ya Sam]

Hmmm, looks intriguing:

Cyberpunks William Gibson and Bruce Sterling join forces. The result is "The 
Difference Engine," an alternate-history Victorian mystery/social discourse 
in which the transcendent heart of the digital age has been transplanted 
from the ubiquitous CPUs of the late twentieth century to towering, 
steam-driven analytical "engines." Dense, wry, and weirdly funny, "The 
Difference Engine" is an unlikely literary artifact that recalls Thomas 
Pynchon's "V." The quintessential "steampunk" novel, not likely to be 
superseded.
