Steampunk Hits the Mainstream--Mention at Tor.com



Ay-leen at Tor.com write a fantastic article about the press release from IBM’s Social Sentiment Index predicting that steampunk will be a retail trend from 2013 – 2015

The article gives a great perspective on the Steampunk culture, and makes many excellent points about what draws such a wide range of people. "One of the main attractions of steampunk as a creative community, however, is the democratization of the artisan lifestyle. You didn’t have be a “professional.”"
It also give five things that steampunk hitting the mainstream can do (and is already doing), besides changing their fashion choices. Ay-leen even gives Steampunk Holmes a generous mention in #4: Steampunk revitalizes old-fashioned storytelling in new ways.
