Vintage Tomorrows Early Release [image: Vintage Tomorrows
Documentary]<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zumbd6t97a9s82qc0ipb4vcgf6nfvl1rgqbjcr10>

Vintage Tomorrows<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zu15urv7uta82t0i1h90m2qog1rdas86vetl65l8>walks
through the Steampunk movement and what their alternative history
says about our own world and its technological future. The authors, Brian
David Johnson<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zhc9rc14bg2i26ssfje4j5q5e5m62dhjpdvbp940>(futurist
@ Intel) and James
Carrot<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z106nofrnu8conkmo0ftv8d85hvldhgmljt5bg1g>(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:
