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.

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

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