Vintage Tomorrows
http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zp8f39422fuuocbi8jua62dlvln6brf9pcdg14j8


Vintage Tomorrows Early Release

Vintage Tomorrows walks through the Steampunk movement and what their 
alternative history says about our own world and its technological future. 
The authors, Brian David Johnson (futurist @ Intel) and James Carrot 
(cultural historian), have differing perspectives on history, culture, the 
future, and technology as a whole, but come together to present a fantastic 
documentation of this sub-culture. The book includes interviews with experts 
such as Cory Doctorow, James Gleick, and Margaret Atwood, who talk about 
how Steampunk has become a cultural movement as demonstrated in clothing, 
events, music, and (drumroll) books!

The authors have also just completed a documentary by the same name. 
You can see the trailer here:
