Strange! So many things make me think of a certain style that goes with the
time, that feels old, the kind of thing that pervades early science fiction
or romance or Victoriana in general. That extract had a drive a clarity that
could easily be taken for something post-William-Gibson but without the
obvious futuristic affectations. My dad was born 100 years ago, so I will
read this stuff, it might give a useful perspective on how people saw their
times, instead of how we have been so often made to see them.
