Steampunk magazine publishes online for free

Steampunk has for some time now been recognized as a subgenre of science fiction. It entails re-envisioning technology based on Victorian-era culture. These made-up worlds are populated with steam-powered rockets and gear-driven computers. This genre of literature enjoys a large following among the Internet and computer crowd.
To that end, there's a downloadable magazine covering all things steampunk. Artwork and fashion are featured, but so are short stories and poetry. It's still relatively new, but each issue can be downloaded for free. It's an interesting window into a thriving genre of literature. Check it out at www.steampunkmagazine.com
