The mammoth book of steampunk

by Sean Wallace

Stories confronting an uneasy history of oppression- of women, other 'races' and classes- and the abuse of science, by reimagining the past. The writers represented in this outstanding collection look to the future through the lens of the past, imagining worlds in which technology is used to uplift rather than to oppress.
