Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle follows scientists, adventurers, financiers and rulers across Europe and beyond during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Quicksilver, The Confusion and The System of the World form one enormous connected narrative involving characters such as Daniel Waterhouse, Jack Shaftoe and Eliza as new science, money and political power reshape their world. The three volumes should be read in order. This is dense historical fiction with speculative elements, long digressions and a very large cast, so it suits readers who enjoy ideas about mathematics, economics and early modern history as much as conventional plot.
