Ahhh, steampunk! How I love thee. Let me count the ways. Lighter-than-air warships. Wind-up robots that make cool whirring sounds. Weaponised steam locomotives. Vast subterranean cities built by armies of leather-goggled minions. Gunpowder-driven external combustion engines driving giant tanks. Analogue push-button typewriter computers cooled by water and made of brass. Soldiers driven by steam boilers and programmed by punch cards. Giant steel submarines filled with grand copper organs and suspended walkways and stained glass portholes and rivets. And, well, that would have been about it for my personal steampunk list of coolness if you had asked me last night. But tonight it's different. See, my imagination has just been expanded by exactly one hyper-cool machine, but this one's not a special effect or a pen and ink drawing. It's as real as you or I. Her name is Isabel and she's the product of one particularly over-active imagination that lives inside the head of Tasmanian Andrew Knott.
