Steampunk (photo by vonslatt)

Steampunk (photo by  vonslatt) by pashasha.
The ideas behind the steampunk sci-fi subgenre have been around since Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, but it was given its moniker in the late '80s as a speculative-fiction genre, alongside cyberpunk, ribofunk and splatterpunk. While the others peer 15 minutes into the future, steampunk envisions a future that has collapsed onto a re-imagined Victorian past. Steam and clockworks replace silicon logic, brass and copper stand in for titanium and plastic, and airships replace spaceships.

PLEASE NOTE. This is NOT my computer. It was made by Jake Von Slatt. For more info on how he made it, please visit: steampunkworkshop.com/lcd.shtml
