G. Wells. The imagery of the American West contributed to the aesthetic--revolvers, locomotives, and rifles of the late nineteenth century. Among young people, steampunk has found common aesthetic cause with Goth style. Examples from literature and popular culture include William Gibson's fiction, China Mi騅ille's novels, the classic film \u003cem\u003eMetropolis\u003c\/em\u003e, and the BBC series \u003cem\u003eDoctor Who\u003c\/em\u003e.

Chapters in \u003cem\u003eClockwork Rhetoric\u003c\/em\u003e explore topics ranging from jewelry to Japanese anime to contemporary imperialism to fashion.
