What is Steampunk?
Steampunk is a celebration of the 19thc origins of Science Fiction.
Although the name “Steampunk” is 20th century, the style and form of Steampunk goes back to the earliest 19th-century authors who created the genre of Science Fiction. Those first authors were writing in the dawn light of the Industrial Revolution, a time of infinite possibilities and infinite change. As time went on their fiction became not only speculation but inspiration, and warnings, to future generations.
