TimeOut - Any Steampunk Fans?

Any Steampunk Fans?

Jun 21, 2018,17:08 PM

I am invited to a special show of Steam Punk art, fashion

and automobiles.

From Steampunk.com:

Steampunk has always been first and foremost a literary genre, or least a subgenre of science fiction and fantasy that includes social or technological aspects of the 19th century (the steam)

usually with some deconstruction of, reimagining of, or rebellion against parts of it (the punk).

Unfortunately, it is a poorly defined subgenre, with plenty of disagreement about what is and is not included.

For example, steampunk stories may:

Take place in the Victorian era but include advanced machines based on 19th century technology
Include the supernatural as well
Include the supernatural and forego the technology
Include the advanced machines, but take place later than the Victorian period, thereby assuming that electricity and petroleum never happen
Take place in an another world altogether, but featuring Victorian-like technology
