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. http://www.squidoo.com/steampunks Sat, 26 Jul 2008 02:13:20 -0600 FeedCreator 1.7.2 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:52:39 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/steampunks 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.
