Many people ask what is Steampunk? There was a movement in science fiction to write in a genre known as “Cyberpunk”. When various writers, such as Jules Verne, began exploring similar concepts and ideas but setting them in a pseudo Victorian world, the term steampunk was jokingly coined. Steampunks aim is to take some of the very best parts of the past and make them part of a bright future.
