Poking
around Discover Magazine, I came across an article on an underground,
nuclear-war-proof living complex, sort of like a real-life City of Ember . It’s capable of
self-sufficiency, with hydroponics farming, fish tanks, and zombie-proof
defense mechanisms. Unfortunately, however, the steampunk pretty much stops
there. While I appreciate the effort to make such a usually dark place pleasant,
the “brand-name kitchen appliances,” and “window-like HDTV panels” would
probably detract from the overall steampunkness. Nonetheless, this might be in
interesting setting in a post-apocalypse tale: a world where a lucky few live
in safety and luxury below the ground, while the rest of the world’s population
must fend for itself.
Since,
due to copyright issues, I was hesitant to include pictures, I’ll put in a link
