Aliens: Recent Encounters is a decent collection of stories, most dealing with the consequences of encounters between humans and aliens [duh]. I picked it off the new-book shelf at one of my libraries because I saw that it contained works from some of my favorites - Ursula K. Le Guin, Caitlín R. Kie...
Rating: 4/5Summary: Overview of the Steampunk culture with a look at its history and current (pre-2011) state.Review: Grab a cup of tea while enjoying The Steampunk Bible, a beautifully illustrated guide to the Steampunk culture.

I loved "To Follow the Waves" when I first read it in Joselle Vanderhooft's Steam-powered and was g...

VenderMeer covers the history of Steampunk, art, literature, fashion, music, creations, cons, film and TV. The pictures are absolut...
The Book Report: The book description says: Steampunk—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.

Steampunk is a subgenre / aesthetic that reimagines Victorian times in a retro-futurist way, embracing the past while reflecting upon the present and future.
