From a fantasy fiction genre, steampunk has grown into a broad pop culture aesthetic, with its own art, fashion, home decor, music, and events. Influenced by 19th-century steam-age industrial imagery, the Wild West, and science fiction, followers modify modern objects such as computers to resemble path-not-taken machines and filter fashion through a Victorian lens. The latest technologies are mixed with period styling to create a romantic, neo-Victorian, sepia-toned universe. The Steampunk Gazette chronicles this burgeoning international subculture with an illustrated newspaper-style design that reflects the vintage aesthetic. Reports from the forefront of the steampunk movement and a high percentage of specially commissioned photographs make the book a unique record of this diverse and influential movement. Steampunk's current influences on fashion, design, television drama and film will be evident from these pages. A travel news style section entitled News from Everywhere and sections on Mode, Furnishings, Gear, Science and Manufacture, Nature, Culture, Extravaganzas, and Leisure chronicle every aspect of the movement around the world in more than 750 photographs that will delight aficionados and inspire and intrigue a wider public interested in art, fashion, design, history and culture.
