  • La macchina della realtà (The Difference Engine) è un romanzo di fantascienza steampunk del 1990, scritto da William Gibson e Bruce Sterling. È spesso indicata come l'opera che ha dato inizio al filone dello steampunk, anche se in realtà è piuttosto quella che lo ha reso popolare tra gli appassionati di fantascienza, dato che già in precedenza erano state scritte storie ascrivibili a questo genere, e il termine stesso risale almeno al 1979. I principi ispiratori delle storie cyberpunk di Gibson e Sterling sono qui applicati ad un'età vittoriana alternativa, nella quale Charles Babbage è riuscito nell'ambizione di costruire un avanzato computer meccanico (la macchina analitica, evoluzione della macchina differenziale che dà il titolo originale al romanzo), anticipando di oltre un secolo la rivoluzione informatica.
  • «Машина Различий» (англ. The Difference Engine, более верный исторический перевод — «Разностная машина», другой перевод — «Дифференциальный исчислитель») — роман в жанре стимпанк, написанный Брюсом Стерлингом и Уильямом Гибсоном в 1990 году.
