Re-assembling the Victorians: Steampunk, Cyborgs, and the Ethics of Industry by Helena Esser

“…It has generated an active subculture whose participants utilise a perceived Victorian technophilia to fuel their own anachronistic explorations. Its counter-cultural core philosophy is built around a yearning for re-humanised technology that promises accessibility, vulnerability and individuation, following the credo ‘Love the machine, hate the factory’.1 While its machines, hailed as ‘real, breathing, coughing, struggling and rumbling parts of the world’,2 become humanised, humans may in turn become mechanised or fused with technology as steam-cyborgs. …”
