Plato's Sphere: An Ego-Machine Story

Before the Difference Engine, there was the Ego Machine. In 1844, Renaissance documents were unearthed that described a device capable of creating an artificial self, promising an era of spiritual and intellectual enlightenment by rejecting the ego. However, the violent and hateful echoes of humanity's legacy remain hard to forget. Fast forward to 1898, when such a device holds secrets about the ghastly Whitechapel murders. Lord Lake of the British Intelligence Service and 'The Golem' from Scotland Yard journey to the Orient to interview the machine. Unbeknownst to them, a series of events has been set into motion that will either plunge the world into a dark age lasting millions of years or herald the rise of a savage, cosmos-spanning empire. As 'The Golem' unleashes chaos on the streets of London, Lord Lake finds himself holding the key to humanity's future.
