Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction and fantasy that features steam-powered machinery and Victorian-era aesthetics.
It often takes place in an alternate history where steam technology has advanced and changed the course of history.
Steampunk incorporates elements of science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, horror, and historical fiction.
The fashion, culture, and technology of the Victorian era is often reimagined in a way that is anachronistic and technologically advanced.
Some common themes in steampunk include the exploration of the world and outer space, the rise of industrialism, and the collision of science and magic.
