An Illustrated Practical and Whimsical Guide to Creating Retro-futurist Dreams
Jeff VanderMeer and Desirina Boskovich
Steampunk, the retro-futuristic cultural movement, has become a substantial and permanent genre in the worlds of fantasy and science fiction. A large part of its appeal is that, at its core, Steampunk is about doing it yourself: building on the past while also innovating and creating something original. VanderMeer's latest book offers practical and inspirational guidance for readers to find their individual path into this realm. Including sections on art, fashion, architecture, crafts, music, performance, and storytelling, The Steampunk User's Manual provides a conceptual how-to guide that motivates and awes both the armchair enthusiast and the committed creator. Examples range from the utterly doable to the completely over-the-top, encouraging participation and imagination at all levels.
Jeff VanderMeer is the author of The Steampunk Bible and a three-time winner of the World Fantasy Award. His critically acclaimed fiction has been translated into twenty languages. VanderMeer's latest novel, Annihilation, was recently optioned by Paramout Pictures.
