A large number of science fiction lovers seem fascinated with steampunk. This is a subgenre which presents the modified version of Victorian Era. The version of history that we find in punk, talks about a lot of gadgets, which were either invented in the next century, or have never been invented till date. Scientists are still doing research on some of the unique inventions. It is arduous to tell when their researches will complete, but it is for sure that these inventions create the fascination in minds of today's generation. Many of you would have dreamt about wandering in high-tech spacecrafts and time machines.

When we think about these inventions, which have not been invented till date, the ‘time machine' is the first name that comes in our mind. This amazing discovery is mentioned in the famous novel of H.G. Wells – ‘The Time Machine". This is the machine, which has the capability to take us to another period, either past or future. This machine is based on the concept that time is also a dimension, which we can cross. In the aforesaid novel, machine takes the protagonist to 802701 A.D. Most of part of the story is based on his experience he faces in that era. This concept of time travel has fascinated several other writers, and a lot of films are made on the same. The story of Wells' novel has also been adopted by the Hollywood film makers. Some other films based on the concept of time travel include ‘Deja Vu' and ‘Sound of Thunder'; however these two movies are not based on the steampunk technology.

There is another novel of H.G. Wells, ‘The War of the Worlds', which also presents some amazing and undiscovered technologies. The invasion of the aliens of Mars has been described in this novel. The existence of fighting machines clicks the minds, as they are not invented as yet, but they can defiantly be a prominent weapon in the future warfare. In the novel, these machines are sent by the Martians of Mars. The machines contain the black smoke, chemical weapons and heat-rays. The modern age tanks seem a little beginning of such machines, but the machines are much closer to the robotic technologies of the future.

Besides, Martians come to earth in cylinders in that novel. Of course, human has reached the space through the new age spacecrafts, but these cylinders are still the work of fiction. This amazing punk fiction has influenced the people of the recent times. The impact of this fiction can be best witnessed among the people in the form of costumes.

Some of the perfect steampunk dresses for women can be obtained from websites provide the costumes for men also.
