The Age of Invention: The Beginning of the Modern World?

Assassin's Creed Syndicate incorporates technology into its gameplay and story more than any other game in the series. Its setting in Victorian London represents the culmination of a remarkable period of British history known as the Age of Invention. Or does it? Did the Age really end, and are we still living in it?

To help Matt Lewis get to grips with the vast and fascinating Age of Invention, he's joined by Dr Anton Howes, author of the Age of Invention blog.
