Gibson and Sterling are good writers in their own right; ask me how much I'd prefer to have seen the Sprawl Trilogy turned into a movie series than see the Matrix (hey, but at least the Wachowski Bros. managed to steal that term when they stole the entire story from yet another author. ) And, yes, I'd feel that way even if I wan't a Texan who considers Sam Houston a demigod.
It's apparently Steampunk month. Or fortnight, depending on which publisher you look at.

And some enthusiast is apparently trying to build Babbage's original designs for a computer.

The Science Museum did one of Babbage's machines, yes, but not the big one.

You could just buy Steampunk and pre-order Steampunk II: Steampunk Reloaded

Matt Staggs was sending me something. Which I've not received. Stupid mail system.

It would seem The Difference Engine is essential Steampunk reading; it largely spawned the genre.

Not high art, maybe, but well written, well paced and thought provoking.
