What is steampunk you may say? Well, it is rather tricky to put it into words. Steampunk is a term used to describe a fantasy Victorian science fiction world with a fusion of imaginative machinery. And currently, it is not as much about the literature, but bizarre mixes of antiques and cyberpunk technology. This style is recognized by numerous knobs, hinges and springs, screws, pipes, steam valves and clockworks, brass and copper, glass and polished wood, and surely airships. Just think of a future that has been carried into a re-imagined Victorian past – steampunk envisions what the past could have been if there was advanced technology back then and also pines for a time when the function of an object was manifest in its design.
