I've been on a steam punk kick of late. Been reading and listening to "steam punk" bands. Read through the 101 class of Girl Genius. Been enjoying that.
Had a thought the other day. One of those duh moments when you consciously think something that you've known for a long time but had never consciously thought before.
We live in a steam punk world. The vast majority of our technology is steam based. Aside from hydroelectric, all of the standard means of electric generation are steam based. We use radioactivity to heat water to create steam to turn turbines, etc, etc.
So, is steam punk "reality" fiction like reality TV?
hmmm.....
