I'm currently reading The Difference Engine, a steampunk alt-history taking place in 1855. I've also been playing Victoria: Empire Under the Sun. Both of them feature a Victorian-era "Manhattan Commune" (in the latter, it only pops up if there's a major rebellion in New York, or the owner decides to release it as a satellite state). Now, the Manhattan Commune seems a pretty far-fetched idea, so I was shocked to see it in two places around the same time. It's possible it was included in Victoria as a tribute to The Difference Engine, but that seems unlikely; TDE is almost two decades old, and is certainly not a major book or anything.
So, anyway, it made me interested. Does anyone know of any other TL or story that includes an independence New York City, Communist or not?
