A few days ago, while I was doing a reasearch about victorian age for the new project I'm preparing, I "discovered"* steampunk. (*like Christopher Columbus discover America although it has been there for centuries :)
It's a a sub-genre of fantasy and speculative fiction. It's like an alternative reality... a mixture of victorian age and the beginning of industrial revolution. Full of unusual machines, tools and extraordinary inventions.There are a lot of references in popular culture to it... so if you like it you shouldn't miss the movie from Jaunet and Caro: The city of Lost children. Full of unusual characters, machines, tools and extraordinary inventions.
with words of others:
Wacko victorian fantasies.
K.W. Jeter & Michael Berry, 1987
Everything Jules Verne could have written.
Everything H.G. Wells should have written.
Everything A. Conan Doyle thought of but never published because it was too fantastic.
Frank Chadwick, 1988
