Man this timeline really does feel like a dystopia or a great tragedy with all the knowledge that's been lost.

So is the Printing Press still around or did it go the way of gunpowder? Funnily enough I can still see people reading The Hobbit and A Song of Ice and Fire.

The Steampunk genre first appearing in William Gibson's The Difference Engine in 1990, as a subset of the cyberpunk genre. Where more modern issues and technological innovations are typically applied to the time period of the 19th century. Usually being centered around Victorian England and the...
