Robb\u003c\/strong\u003e sets the key works of steampunk squarely under the lens of his brass monocle and ventures into a world where airships still rule the skies. Spectacularly illustrated and international in scope, explores steampunk in fiction, cinema, television, comics, and video games, and traces its evolution. From the classic sci-fi of Verne, Wells, and Mary Shelley, through the dystopian futurescapes of Cyberpunk, to the otherworldly imaginings of Miyazaki, Alan Moore, and China Miéville.\n\nHere's the first grand, illustrated history of the steampunk counter-culture movement in a book fittingly stylish in its design, package, and artwork, now in paperback! Simultaneously a literary movement, ultra-hip subculture, and burgeoning cottage industry, Steampunk is the most influential new genre to emerge from the late twentieth century. Spinning tales populated with clockwork leviathans, cannon shots to the moon, and coal-fired robots, it charts alternative histories in which the British Empire never fell and the atom remained unsplit.\n\nSteampunk has now made its mark on art, architecture, fashion, and music. Embossed cover. First published in Britain.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOut of Print.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCondition: Fine. \u003c\/strong\u003eTwo soft corner bumps.\n\n \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quarto Publishing Group USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59642970210590,"sku":"RB6377","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/RB6378-steampunk.jpg?v=1784512665","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/steampunk-an-illustrated-history-of-fantastical-fiction-fanciful-film-and-other-victorian-visions-2","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
