The Difference Engine : one man, many lives, same difference
Overview
Imagine modern day England under Soviet rule; Caliphate rule; Nazi Rule; Roman rule
---
In 1961, the first manned Soviet space flight successfully orbits the Earth. In 1191, Christian crusaders defeat Saladin but turn back before Jerusalem. In 1939, the F hrer gives his beer hall speech before planning the invasion of Europe. In 61, the Iceni lose a great battle to rid their lands of its Romani invaders.
Except that none of these events ever took place.
I am Gillan Pots: farmhand in Soviet Britain; fighter in the English Emirate; official of the British Reich; plebeian in Imperial Brittania. I have lucid dreams of a different world, one that is more real to me than these substitute lives, and all I want is for the echoes through time to stop picking at my addled brain. But the engine of the universe is not so forgiving: it has other plans for me as it keeps re-gearing the world, and all so that I can be the difference.
