Victorian Literature and Technology
In the dim glow of the gas lamps, the laboratory was a symphony of whirring gears and shimmering wires. Amidst the clatter of mechanical contrivances, Sir Reginald mused upon the marvels that mankind’s ingenuity had birthed. The steam-powered apparatus churned tirelessly, a testament to human perseverance and scientific advancement. Outside, the fog-laden streets echoed with the distant hum of early automobiles, heralding a new era where invention challenged the very fabric of daily life. Yet, amidst progress, a subtle unease pervaded the air — a whisper of uncertainty about the consequences that such relentless pursuit of innovation might bring to society and the natural order.
