                         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).
