Welcome


Since that's the future we actually got, I can't see that cyberpunk could possibly be any less relevant than it is now.

Another Punk… Steampunk

Out of the world of Cyberpunk came the concept of Steampunk… ” Steampunk is a subgenre of fantasy and speculative fiction which 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, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. ” (from wikipedia).

Of course I credit William Gibson and Bruce Sterling’s book “The Difference Engine” (I think I need to re-read it) with mainstreaming the concept…

Anyway here is a great link to steampunk like items that people have created.
