Exciting! 184

With the strong emergence of steampunk with the public (broadly defined drives), the ActuSF editions have pulled out a small guide of Steampunk. The guide includes both a history of steampunk, with some key moments (whether dates or contracting out), there are issues and especially interviews with figures of steampunk (and not necessarily the authors! ). Also found, grouped by theme and interspersed with interviews, small title lists following themes: contemporary steampunk, movie, manga etc.

I particularly liked the fact that the guide is not confined only to the aesthetics of the movement, but it may be that studies of this guide.

I also liked the fact that the book does not have a bias: I mean for example, in the movies, the guide refers to a film that has not convinced the authors but presents very characteriscs interesting as part of a film with steampunk qualities. In this sense, be objective but keeping his own opinion, makes all of high quality and quite confident.

I enjoyed this guide. The texts referring to the movement and the answers to questions I was truly passionate. I am less interested in the talks, but all is well built and balanced. I recommend this guide to both the passionate steampunk but also beginners who are curious.
