53. Steampunk: What is it?
Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, alternate history, and speculative
fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s.[1]
Specifically, steampunk involves an era or world where steam power is still
widely used—usually the 19th century and often Victorian era Britain—that
incorporates prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of
steampunk often feature anachronistic technology or futuristic innovations as
Victorians may have envisioned them; in other words, based on a Victorian
perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, art, etc. This technology may
include such fictional machines as those found in the works of H. G. Wells and
Jules Verne or real technologies like the computer but developed earlier in an
alternate history.
