Shanghai Steam Recommended Steampunk Reading! Tackling the issues of classism, racism, and imperialism. "Shanghai Steam is one of those anthologies you think will be one thing, but is surprisingly more…" — Bram Stoker Award-winner, Michael Knost. "Just when we thought steampunk had run out of, well, steam, these daring editors have reinvigorated the whole genre." — Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author. "Asian literature has a rich tradition of what we would consider speculative poetry, from the Kojiki creation myths of Japan to the variations of the Ramayana epic found throughout Southeast Asia" — Bryan Thao Worra Imagine A world with armies of terra-cotta warriors operated by steam power, Chinese Dragon Airships, Tesla-Oolong Tea, robot acupuncturists, weapons carved into dragon’s mouths, artificial limbs imbued with Chi, and schools of martial artists dedicated to cybernetic combat. Imagine a steampunk version of Shanghai or Hong Kong or an alternate history where Britain not only won the Opium War but conquered China, or vice versa. Imagine a completely new Chinese-inspired fantasy world with steampunk elements. Shanghai Steam From ancient China to a future Mars, from the British Empire to the Old West, 19 authors show you worlds with alcohol fuelled dragons, philosophical automatons, and Qi-powered machines both wondrous and strange in tales of vengeance, paper lantern revolutions and flying monks.
