Imagine an alternate universe where romance and technology reign.
Where tinkerers and dreamers craft and recraft a world of
automatons, ornate clockworks, calculating machines, and other
marvels that never were. Where scientists and schoolgirls, fair
folk and Romans, intergalactic bandits, Utopian revolutionaries,
and intrepid orphans ? decked out in corsets, clockwerk suits, and
tall black boots ? solve dastardly crimes, escape from monstrous
predicaments, consult oracles, and hover over volcanoes in
steam-powered airships. Here, in the first major steampunk
anthology for young adults, fourteen masters of speculative
fiction, including two graphic storytellers, embrace the genre's
established blend of sci-fi and fantasy, action and adventure,
history and romance, and refashion it in surprising ways and in
settings as diverse as Canada, New Zealand, Appalachia, Wales,
ancient Rome, future Australia, and alternate California.
Visionaries Link and Grant have invited all-new interpretations,
explorations, and expansions, taking a genre already rich, strange,
and inventive in the extreme and challenging contributors to remake
it from the ground up. The result is an anthology that defies even
as it defines the genre.
