Steampunk

In an alternative Victorian era where aetheric science and steam-powered marvels shape society, the brilliant but eccentric Professor Erasmus Finch and his unlikely allies find themselves at the heart of a conflict that will determine the future of technology and spirituality alike.

Alisia is normal, as far as humans go. She’s a young historian recovering from heartbreak, intent only on settling down and living peacefully. But the gods have different intentions. Alisia and her sister wake up on an alien ship. The merciless Admiral Brutus of the Vudar empire has mistaken the pair for members of the rival Sem’Pari race and plans on using them as spies, controlling them with neural implants. However, Alisia quickly realizes Brutus’s team unknowingly implanted the wrong AI chip in her head.

When Professor Finch's groundbreaking experiments with etheric energy draw unwanted attention from the mysterious Coterie of the Cog, he is forced to flee London with his street-smart assistant Ada Lovelace and the charming diplomat Tristan Byrne. Together, they become known as the Gearsmiths, pioneers in the revolutionary field of etheric science. But their innovations have made them targets of those who would use such power for nefarious purposes.

100 years in the future, everyone wears filtered goggles that project their preconceived biases upon the world. This is how they get along, how they can all have nice things. Peace hadn’t come in the form of socialism or fascism or any of the dystopias or utopias their ancestors imagined: instead people are allowed to live out their fantasies, the simulation’s game engine veiling the differences that used to cause contention and strife.
