From "Mom, Dad, I'm Into Steampunk" by Marco Kaye:
"You'll appreciate this, Dad. Would I ever lose this cell phone? It's got a back plate of soldered brass. I created the aged patina with simple ammonia and salt. I'll replenish that soon, if you'll quit bugging me about it. Check this out. These interlocking gears are what I use to dial. They also explain why I haven't been replying to your texts recently.
...
Don't look so crestfallen, Mom and Dad. At least I'm not into cyberpunk."
Who's on your side Zrbo, the Paris Review? HA!

Hey, this whole cyber vs. steam thing is in your head. The only thing I said was that the Russian scientist's map look like it came from the old cyberpunk genre. I said nothing disparaging concerning steampunk! And I don't even know what the Paris review is, is that something run by Ms. Hilton?
