The first piece of short fiction by popular Television Without Pity writer Jacob Clifton is like nothing we've ever read, a piece of postmodern steampunk encompassing past, present, and future all at once. Jacob writes, "There's a level on which the story is an indictment of using steampunk as a fashion or trend. It came about because I wanted to see what would happen if you substituted Jane Austen for Jules Verne in the steampunk equation—and part of that is the notion that you can't just remix, you have to transform."
"The Commonplace Book" concerns certain social and technological developments in New York's sixth Borough of Lytton, a timeless locale facing great change at the hands of new motion picture technology and the advent of machine intelligence. And, most of all, from inventors and iconoclasts Lady Adelaide Babbage and Mr Maximilian Willoughby, struggling in parallel with a hopeless inability to conform in fashion or manner to the standards of the day, and the construction of identity in the face of the knowledge that the creation of AI is—like any other art—also the creation of self.

Please give us more Jacob! I am huge fan of his writing from the "Television Without Pity" recaps and now at the Morning After web site he set up with Gawker. I don't want to pigeon hole his style, I just want to praise his fiction work as being equal to his literary criticsm. He is that good.Product details

The Commonplace Book A TorCom Original eBook Jacob Clifton Reviews
The Commonplace Book is exquisitely well written. The setting is original and interesting, but the greater strengths of the story are the characters, and the author's masterful use of language. I'm looking forward to Jacob Clifton's next story.
After reading Jacob Clifton's This Is Why We Jump, I went in search of his other work. I'm glad I did, because Commonplace Book is exactly the sort of fusion that appeals to me garish steampunk framework and classical flair. This juxtaposition appears to mirror that of the narrative which touches on the absurd and profound nature of existence. Writing and editing both showed polish. I, at least, would appreciate more stories by this author.
