steampunk
In the words of journalist Douglas
Fetherling, steampunk science fiction
imagines "how the past would have been
different if the future had happened
sooner." Usually set in Victorian England,
steampunk's anachronistic imagery includes
steam-powered flamethrowers, analog
computers, and gargantuan magnetic
devices capable of manipulating lunar
orbits. Although K.W. Jeter's Morlock
Night (1979)--in which the Morlocks of
H.G. Wells's The Time Machine steal the
invention and return to Victorian London--is
probably the first steampunk novel, James
Blaylock exclusively works the subgenre
(Homunculus, 1986; Lord Kelvin's
Machine, 1992). The most widely known
steampunk novel is William Gibson and
Bruce Sterling's The Difference Engine
(1991). Other examples of this cyberpunk
niche include Paul Di Filippo's The
Steampunk Trilogy (1995) and Paul J.
McAuley's Pasquale's Angel (1995).
