I'd say Frankenstein was the prototype steampunk novel.
Why dont my employees see how cool they'd all look with glasses like
that next to our steampunked trade show display. It;s be like a

Magnascope (electron microscope) with the Roentgen Ray Divisor (x-ray
Spectrometer) all done in brass and huge dials with a Jacobs ladder
