Herbert George Wells was born this day in 1866. While Steampunk has no official canon, Wells' works are certainly considered among the most influential in imagining our present from the perspective of his era.
By the power of caffeine do I set my mind in motion
By the Beans of Life do my thoughts acquire speed
My hands acquire a shaking
The shaking becomes a warning
By the power of caffeine do I set my mind in motion

Two presently relevant quotes from HG Wells

1. "We all have our time machines, don't we. Those that take us back are memories...And those that carry us forward, are dreams."

2.  "Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe."
