Excerpt from article:
  
Steampunk is many things...a literary genre, a fashion aesthetic, a visual and mechanical vocabulary, and a philosophy of life. Steampunk looks to the past in order to move into the future with imagination and purpose. Personally, I am drawn to the urban, industrial materials and forms, the odd pairing of Victorian fashion and fantastic steam-powered inventions. But then, I have always preferred the disturbing beauty of an abandoned factory over a glistening sunny meadow...the Made world...the smell of concrete after a rain.
