Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Baroque Cycle is an epic series by Neal Stephenson about the birth of the modern world and set during The Cavalier Years. Through the volumes Quicksilver, The Confusion, and The System of the World, the cycle follow the intertwining stories of natural philosopher Daniel Waterhouse FRS, vagabond 'Half-Cocked' Jack Shaftoe, his soldier brother Bob and harem girl-cum-capitalist Eliza of Qwghlm, who's also the love of Jack's life. Spanning decades and the globe. Set in the late 17th and early 18th century and charting the rise and eventual triumph of the scientific method and modern capitalism, the story might best be described as historical science-fiction with fantastic elements. |
