★★★☆☆ By W. Gibson and B. Sterling (1990) The adventures of a few improbable heroes set in a Victorian London, where lord Byron is leading the country with the aid of steam powered computers. Not the best book I read from either Gibson or Sterling, but surely an interesting exercise in storytelling and alternative world creation, and also a quite entertaining reading.
