1st May 2010--30th June 2010

Everyone who has an opinion is invited to come to the Great Steampunk Debate.  What’s going to be debated?  Well, Steampunk.  What is it, where is it going, who’s in charge of it, and what are we going to do about it?

"The Time Machine" will be in A5 format so will be perfect for slipping in your bag, reading on the train etc.  It will be full colour virtually throughout so expect lots and lots of glossy pictures. Projected price is £2.95 per issue. For the first year it will be quarterly with a view to going bimonthly thereafter.

Before it gets going, though, it needs contributors.  And that’s where you come in.

An interesting chap called Leonardo Wolfe has a proposal for us...

"The idea is to start a guild (easy there MMORPG fans) of people that are mathematically and mechanically minded in the pursuit of creating devices and inventions from a period  now long gone but which we’re all here to enjoy, admire and relive. A rebellion against the torrent of cheap, mass produced capitalist junk that rolls out of the worlds factories to end up in the garbage day after day.

The BBC takes another look at Steampunk, visiting a Steampunk party and chatting with fellow guests Herr Doktor, Amanda Scrivener and James Richardson-Brown, who are only too happy to show off their gadgets.

Jamillah Knowles, host of BBC Radio 5’s Pods and Blogs podcasts, visits the Steampunk Exhibition in Oxford and talks to it’s curator, Art Donovan.
