Steampunk is a term that was coined in the late 1980s to describe a type of science fiction or fantasy writing that fused a Victorian setting and technology with later technological and mechanical developments to create a 19th century that never was. The genre has now expanded beyond writing to include people who are creating and building modern components to reflect 19th century styles and hardware.

- Steampunk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- 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.
