Episode 014: The Difference Engine

Welcome to the new episode of the Wolf Podcast.

Today Paul Graham Raven is on the show to discuss William Gibson and Bruce Sterling’s collaboration on 1990s The Difference Engine. Paul is a writer, academic, and worldbuilder. You can find more of his writing at his website, newsletter, and

Read his interview with Bruce Sterling right here.

Turning the clocks back to the early 90s, right before Gibson jumped into The Bridge Trilogy and right after he finished The Sprawl Trilogy, we have The Difference Engine. This is a very different novel in many ways and one I’m glad to have picked up now, after reading through the rest of Gibson’s career.

Music by Bart Larsen. Everything else done by me, I guess.
