“Steampunk bursts through its subculture roots to challenge our musical, fashion, design, and even political sensibilities.” With that daring statements begins Miss Sharon Steel her investigation into the fascinating world of steampunk. For The Boston Phoenix, she writes about the “Steam Dream” of our beloved genre and developing subculture, chronicling the history of steampunk as a genre and examining the characteristics of purposes of its subculture.

I thank Miss Isabel Aller, Interactive Marketing Manager for The Phoenix for bringing this fine article to our attention!
