Steampunk Books!

“Steampunk is hard to define. It’s
old-fashioned, often set in the 19th century, with leanings toward the future.”
“Alternate history filled with out-of-place technology.”
“Victorian Science Fiction with dark and ominous tones, often where technology is an enslaving force and the main characters are fighting against the oppressive establishment.”
It describes clockwork industrial worlds filled with anachronistic flotsam, brass fixtures, waistcoats, and goggles.
And lots of dirigibles -- Steampunk loves dirigibles.
