(For example: http://io9.com/5917187/gorgeous-portraits-of-steampunks-jetpack+wearing-superwomen) We could probably list dozens of examples of steampunkery in popular culture, from video games to movies to prog-rock concept albums and so [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=floatingacademy.wordpress.com&#038;blog=7724907&#038;post=1548&#038;subd=floatingacademy&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
