Steampunk

Steampunk is a sub-genre of speculative fiction with a focus on steam-based technology, often in an alternate-history setting of some type. It has developed its own visual aesthetic, with heavy emphasis on clockwork, iron, copper, and brass. The look is hard to define, and most people just think of it as, "I know it when I see it." The Steampunk Bible is a good reference for those seeking more information.
