Steam Punk: an alternative to cyberpunk


Recently I came across this humor essay, which parodies the stepchild of Goth, the steam punk sub-culture, a kind of anime byproduct in which people imagine a world powered by steam and gears and futurist Victorian ethics. A re-imaging of the industrial revolution with time travel and way more of those Amelia Earhart face goggles.

They also convert ipods and computers into angry looking antiques. Angry cool, that is.
