Editorial Reviews: Product Description div P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormalSteampunk—a grafting of Victorian aesthetic and punk rock attitude onto various forms of science-fiction culture—is a phenomenon that has come to influence film, literature, art, music, fashion, and more. IThe Steampunk Bible/I is the first compendium about the movement, tracing its roots in the works of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells through its most recent expression in movies such as ISherlock Holmes/I. Its adherents celebrate the inventor as an artist and hero, re-envisioning and crafting retro technologies including antiquated airships and robots. A burgeoning DIY community has brought a distinctive Victorian-fantasy style to their crafts and art. Steampunk evokes a sense of adventure and discovery, and embraces extinct technologies as a way of talking about the future. This ultimate manual will appeal to aficionados and novices alike as author Jeff VanderMeer takes the reader on a wild ride through the clockwork corridors of Steampunk history.BRBRPraise for IThe Steampunk Bible/I:BRBR"IThe Steampunk Bible/I is an informed, informative and beautifully illustrated survey of the subject."BRI -The Financial Timesbr/IBRI"The Steampunk Bible/I is far and away the most intriguing catalog of all things steam yet written."
