The interests meme

[firecat]

via computerchix and just about everyone else:

Go browse through my list of interests and ask me about one that 1) you know nothing about but sounds intriguing or 2) you know something about but can't fathom why I would be interested in it.

Or ask me about an LJ community I read.

"Steampunk"?

Steampunk is a genre of science fiction. I think the name derived from cyberpunk. Here is a good explanation of the term.

China Miéville's Perdido Street Station is a really good example of the genre.

Paul Di Filippo's Steampunk Trilogy is excellent.
