The late Victorian Age is a whirlwind of technological advances, especially those associated with clockwork calculating engines and the intricate machinery that they so often control. The Clockwork Cabaret is a prime example: an entirely automated dance troupe and accompanying orchestra powered by steam engines and programmed by Jacquard cards.

These stories are all set in what is probably the same universe as The Cassandra Effect.
