(Biopunk as one word)
Line 12:
[[Jules Verne]], the first [[Speculative Fiction]] writer, is the king of this trope. He and [[H. G. Wells]] are often mentioned as the foundation of a literary steampunk's reading list.
 
If instead of industrial era technology, the setting has pre-industrial technology, see [[Clock Punk]], and if it includes internal combustion engines in place of steam, see [[Diesel Punk]], though there can be crossover between them if used purely asthetically. Many examples of '''Steampunk''' mix in a few mutated monsters (probably in homage to Charles Darwin living roughly in the era depicted), thereby bordering upon [[Bio PunkBiopunk]]. If it assumes the truth of Victorian-era science, it may also become an example of [[All Theories Are True]]. Visual media (and the real life Steampunk subculture) will never miss a chance to showcase some seriously [[Awesome Anachronistic Apparel]], and for [[Fan Service]]'s sake a woman [[Of Corsets Sexy|in a corset]] must be involved at some point.
 
Of course, [[Politically-Correct History|the difference in]] [[Values Dissonance|values]] between the Victorian era and the present are rarely mentioned, unless the work is emphasising the "Punk" side of things more than most of them do.
