Replete with whimsical mechanical wonders and charmingly
anachronistic settings, this pioneering anthology gathers a
brilliant blend of fantastical stories. Steampunk
originates in the romantic elegance of the Victorian era and blends
in modern scientific advances-synthesizing imaginative technologies
such as steam-driven robots, analog supercomputers, and ultramodern
dirigibles. The elegant allure of this popular new genre is
represented in this rich collection by distinctively talented
authors, including Neal Stephenson, Michael Chabon, James Blaylock,
Michael Moorcock, and Joe R. Lansdale.
