Cory Doctorow and Boing Boing rave about “Steampunk”

Cory Doctorow and his gang of happy mutants at www.BoingBoing.net have just posted a very positive review of Jeff and Ann VanderMeer’s anthology “Steampunk.”

Says Doctorow,

“What a great piece of work this is, from the fascinating triumvirate of essays that recount the history of steampunk in literature and describe its contemporary appeal to the top-notch works of fiction inside, from forgotten proto-steampunk gems by Michael Moorcock and James Blaylock to contemporary pieces from Neal Stephenson, Jay Lake, Ted Chiang and Paul Di Filippo (among many others). Summer’s almost here — time to do some leisure reading, and what better place to start than here? Link.”
