Steampunk III: Steampunk Revolution

Playfully mashing up the romantic elegance of the Victorian era with whimsically
modernized technology, the wildly popular steampunk genre is here to stay.
Now... long live the revolution!

Steampunk Revolution features a renegade collective of writers and artists,
including steampunk legends and hot, new talents rebooting the steam-driven past
and powering it into the future. Lev Grossman's "Sir Ranulph Wykeham-Rackham,
GBE, a.k.a. Roboticus the All-Knowing" is the Six-Million-Dollar Steampunk Man,
possessing appendages and workings recycled from metal parts, yet also fully
human, resilient, and determined. Bruce Sterling's "White Fungus" introduces
steampunk's younger cousin, salvage-punk, speculating on how cities will be
built in the future using preexisting materials. Cat Valente's "Mother Is a
Machine" explores the merging of man and machine and a whole new form of
parenting. In Jeff VanderMeer's anti-steampunk story "Fixing Hanover," a
creator must turn his back on his creation because it is so utterly destructive.
Cherie Priest presents "The Clockroach," a new and very unsettling mode of
transportation. And Malissa Kent's "The Heart Is the Matter" showcases the
unwilling spotlight of the 1889 Paris World's Fair: a young woman with a
hand-pump heart.

Going far beyond corsets and goggles, Steampunk Revolution is not just your
granddad's zeppelin--it's an even wilder ride.
