The Difference Engine

The Difference Engine (1990) is an alternative history novel by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. It is widely regarded as a book that helped establish the genre conventions of steampunk. It posits a Victorian era Britain in which great technological and social change has occurred after entrepreneurial inventor Charles Babbage succeeded in his ambition to build a mechanical computer (actually his Analytical Engine rather than the difference engine). The novel was nominated for the British Science Fiction Award in 1990, the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1991, and both the John W. Campbell Memorial Award and the Prix Aurora Award in 1992. more »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I know I have no right to reach out tonight
That you needn't hear any more of my plight
But I just need to make it exceptionally clear
Exactly what you have done to me, my dear

And now that I have your attention

I knew if I went to you with what I have to say
I could already see the venom due my way
But we need a win for this to be fight
And I just need to be the one who is right

And now that I have your attention

Let's not say a word that we will regret
Cause the tree will remember what the axe is sure to forget

Intrusive thoughts of you
Course through my spine
Whenever I remember
But I tell myself I'm fine
Just bury, bury, bury
Til the anger loses sway
Just bury, bury, bury
Til all feeling goes away

Before too long it returns to the front
And I find myself back at the start
Reveling in this rage anew
The only way to protect the parts
Of my heart that still remain
I find it easier to explain
That this is your doing, and only you
Than accept that I played my part too

And now that I have your attention
(Draw it away from me)
And now that I have your attention
(Pretend that I'm guilt-free)

Let's not say a word that we will regret
Cause the tree will remember what the axe is sure to forget
Now let's not say a word that we will regret
Cause the tree will remember what the axe is sure to forget
