minus-squarejoaomarrom [he/him, comrade/them]hexbear7·2 years agoI am once again coming to Hexbear to recommend China Mieville's Bas-Lag trilogy. It's not strictly steampunk, but it's close enough that it might fit the bill, especially the third one, Iron Council. link
minus-squarejack [he/him, comrade/them]hexbear5·2 years agoI would call Bas-Lag extremely steampunk and extremely based. link
minus-squarejoaomarrom [he/him, comrade/them]hexbear5·2 years agoI was reluctant to call it strictly steampunk because of The Scar which is set at sea, but you're right. Iron Council is about a worker's movement hijacking a steam locomotive, so that's about as steampunk and based as it gets. link
