Review by: Marianne S.
A collection of scholarly pieces on Steampunk, dealing more with the
subculture than the fictional genre. I found the anthropologists' essays
utterly fascinating, having attended Steampunk gatherings personally.
While probably not to everyone's tastes, I would recommend it to anyone
wanting to get a better handle on what "this Steampunk business is."
(Thanks to my son's 4-H public presentation judges for that quote!)

I really tried to read this book. As soon as I got it, it looked like abstracts from a Steam Punk Symposium. The more I read, it felt like a text book for a Mod Lit level 3-4 class. Too heavy for a summer read. I believe that if you are a Geek, you know all this stuff and, glad there is an instruction manual for those who are not.
