Where tinkerers and dreamers craft and recraft a world of automatons, ornate clockworks, determining machines, and additional marvels that hardly ever were. Where scientists and schoolgirls, reasonable folk and Romans, intergalactic bandits, Utopian revolutionaries, and intrepid orphans – decked out in corsets, clockwerk matches, and tall dark boots – solve dastardly crimes, get away from monstrous predicaments, consult oracles, and hover over about Steampunk! An Anthology of Fantastically Affluent and Strange Tales volcanoes in steam-powered airships.

Visionaries Link and Grant possess asked all-new interpretations, explorations, and expansions, taking a genre already rich, strange, and inventive in the extreme and challenging contributors to remake it from the ground up. The effect is an anthology that defies even as it defines the genre.
