“Lady Windermere’s Brass Fantabulous” is set in an alternative Victorian reality where most mechanical things are steam driven, including brass & cast iron robots. This series is a satirical comment on how governments create misinformation to justify their own often nefarious commercial interests, besides manipulating the gullible minds of their own people. In Part One of A Steampunk State of Mind, Professor Foots-Foots is “setting the record straight” for the historian, Carking Cowputter. By playing back the recordings Lady Windermere captured with her Brass Fantabulous device, Foots-Foots has documented the events that led up to what is known as, “The-Not-So-Great-War.”
