From Zone to Zone: It is easy to imagine that the steampunk movement science fiction featuring steam-powered inventions and a 19th-century style is purely a modern invention, an exercise in "what if there had been a Victorian equivalent to today's sci-fi genre?" However, early science fiction actually included much more than just the well-remembered works of literary figures like Jules Verne, and there really were a wealth of popular stories about steam-powered robots and other wild inventions before the turn of the 20th century.

Senarens is said to have written under twenty-six names besides "Noname," but almost never as himself.
