“Steampunk”Steampunk is a sub-genre of fantasy and speculative

fiction that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world

where steam power is still widely used usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy,

such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real

technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. Other examples of steampunk contain

alternate history-style presentations of "the path not taken" of such technology as dirigibles or analog

computers; these frequently are presented in an idealized light, or with a presumption of functionality.
