What is steampunk? Ask 50 people and you’ll get 50 answers.
I'm a far future science fiction writer at heart. So I like to call steampunk “Victorian-inspired” – science fiction using Victorian (and Edwardian) era aesthetics, social mores, and tech (particularly steam-powered technology) – although you could have steampunk fantasy or horror if you wanted to.
So why is the Red Dog Conspiracy steampunk?
Once I tell people about my story, I’m often asked: okay, a neo-noir sounds cool. Why write a steampunk one?
(Answer: mainly because I like steampunk. And when I got the idea for it, I had never heard of that combination before. But as it turns out there are several out there! I may do some reviews later.)
Any other questions?
