This handsomely produced volume tells the story of Steampunk, which began in the 1980s as a pop culture movement inspired by pioneering science fiction tales that came out of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Steampunk, with its nostalgia for devices and inventions of the nineteenth century, soon evolved into an international lifestyle movement. The Steampunk Gazette chronicles the origins and development of that subculture, using an old-fashioned illustrated newspaper-style design that reflects Steampunk's retro aesthetic.
