Description: Steampunk FAQ by Mike Perschon Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A comprehensive and immersive look at the origins of steampunk and its influences. Publisher Description What is steampunk? Going beyond the standard default definitions of Victorian science fiction, yesterdays tomorrow today, or some other equally vague or limited description, Steampunk FAQ provides a historical exploration of its literary and cinematic origins. The journey begins with a look at steampunks genesis in the novels and short stories of three Californians who hung out a lot with Philip K. Dick, before moving on to the inspirations and antecedents of steampunk. Contrary to what many articles and books say, steampunks direct inspiration is arguably far more cinematic than literary, a likely reaction to the many film adaptations, pastiches, and knockoffs of the scientific romances of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. While Verne, Wells, and a host of other Victorian and Edwardian writers have influenced steampunk fiction, cinematic elements from films such as Disneys 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954) and George Pals Time Machine (1960) show up more often as immediate influences on the style we call steampunk. In offering a celebration of steampunks style and cultural aesthetic, Steampunk FAQ also explores its connection to cyberpunk, the world of fashion, comics, and culture around the world. Author Biography MIKE PERSCHON (Edmonton, Canada) is best known in steampunk circles as The Steampunk Scholar, owing to the blog of the same name he started in 2008, which has been hailed as the best website for reviews of steampunk fiction by The Steampunk Tribune.
