What I love about Steampunk, is that it is basically science fiction with an imaginative and clever twist. It takes the morality and society of a culture past and brings in the ingenuity of steam, hand-cranking, gears, and human invention that is sorely missed in today's computerized, electric culture.#1 priority - it must be clever.  Although this set of stories is imaginative with a bit of very pedantic humor, clever it is not.  It makes me roll my eyes at the suspension of disbelief. The characters are not engaging, but merely puppets.  I've definitely seen better.  Glad it was free.
