I found this anthology to be significant for the fact that I believe that Steampunk done right is a fanbase of remarkably smart people. Peter Tupper has contributed an excellent book that one can point to and say, “See!!! This is Steampunk!” It’s not just about fancy pants dressing and being a Goth-inSepia. It’s a real mindset that appeals to re-purposing, ingenuity, fashion, music, sexuality, art, and fine manners. What I like most about this anthology is that it speaks not only to the idealists of the neo-Victorians and Steampunks, but it also talks about its warts. That new technology does not a perfect society make. Something we can take away currently most assuredly.
