An Accurate Setting, Alternate History 

Ada's Dream is set in an Alternate History of the 1850s, where Ada Lovelace didn't pass away at the early age of 36, and instead continued her valuable work with Charles Babbage on the Analytical Engine. Due to the incredible insight of her notes, Ada is credited as the worlds first computer programmer.

Whilst Ada's Dream is set in an Alternate History, all effort has been put in place to ensure an accurate setting, with a focus on detail. Historian and Author Beverley Adams consulted on this project to improve the accuracy and attention to detail.
