Of Cogs and Culture: The Steampunk Renaissance
Being a Short Treatise on the Prevalence of Neo-Victorian Retro-Futurism in Modern Society and Its Associated Philosophical, Social, and Artistic Implications Take three parts science fiction creativity, two parts mechanical ingenuity, and one part aesthetic sensibility.
