Emily Barton Quotes
One of the things that's exciting for me about this novel is that, to me, Brookland and The Testament of Yves Gundron were both, in certain regards, crypto-steampunk.

If you were to ask me what my novels were about, I would say, well, these are novels about technology and how we relate to technology and what technology means.
