What is steampunk? THGoing beyond the standard default definitions
of Victorian science fiction yesterday's tomorrow today or some
other equally vague or limited description ESteampunk FAQE provides
a historical exploration of its literary and cinematic
origins.THThe journey begins with a look at steampunk's genesis in
the novels and short stories of three Californians who hung out a
lot with Philip K. Dick before moving on to the inspirations and
antecedents of steampunk. Contrary to what many articles and books
say steampunk's direct inspiration is arguably far more cinematic
than literary a likely reaction to the many film adaptations
pastiches and knockoffs of the scientific romances of Jules Verne
and H. G. Wells. While Verne Wells and a host of other Victorian
and Edwardian writers have influenced steampunk fiction cinematic
elements from films such as Disney's E20 000 Leagues Under the SeaE
(1954) and George Pal's ETime MachineE (1960) show up more often as
immediate influences on the style we call steampunk.THIn offering a
celebration of steampunk's style and cultural aesthetic ESteampunk
FAQE also explores its connection to cyberpunk the world of fashion
comics and culture around the world.
