I've recently become interested in Steampunk how about you?
What's steampunk?
Well, its science fiction with a Victorian flavour. The works of jules Verne and HG Wells are good examples or even The League of Extrodinary Gentlemen.
I really like the industrial look of the gadgets and machines but of all the clothes. I love the repressed sexuality and the women in corsets and bustles. Am I the only one who finds this sexy?

HG Wells' The Time Machine is a pretty decent read.
I came across 'steampunk' as a genre very recently... (in my mind that can be anything within the last two to three years). I read a novel which when I rsearched the author, discovered was part of that genre. It had been around for a few years apparently. On link-chasing I found some really intersesting stuff, for the geek of the scene... and the almost fetishistic persute by some of it's exponents.
You mention the industrial look of gizmos and what have you... there are folk out there who have been customising some ordinary every day objects to suit the style of the genre... really quite fascinating.
Modern/contemporary authors also write in this manner, Neal Stephenson was one I think I read, and Niel Gaiman.
all good stuff

Oooh, I love Neil Gamain. :thumbup:
Gamain and Wells... :shock: Does that mean I like Steam Punk and just never knew it?!

I'd second that, just read it and was very impressed, once I got to grips with the sentence structure.
The 2002 film was crap by comparison
I always thought the one truly great book Gaiman wrote (leaving aside comics) was American Gods, which is a fantastic read. Shame he's a bit of a tool in real life (his shameless name dropping is quite repulsive in the flesh).
I never thought of Well's et al as counting as Steam Punk, purely because they were writing at the time, for me it kind of starts and finishes with the Difference Engine. I'm plowing through the Baroque Cycle at the moment which I guess could be seen as a bit Steam Punkish.

My son (21) is a major fan. He defines it to others is "The steam-train in back to the future". And he recommends website.
BTW - how do I turn the URL into a link word such as "this"?

Some of the work on the web sites is stunning. Loved the R2 and the steam powered vibro!
Never knew this had a name, but then again i'm not supprised it has, as every thing has been labeled by now!!
Gonna check more out... thanks.

Fans of Steampunk could do worse than check out Kim Newman. The Anno Dracula series is quality.
