  • The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson -- A steampunk-flavored adventure set in a nanotechnological future, with much of the action in a neo-Victorian society
  • The Peshawar Lancers by S.M. Stirling -- Meteors devastate Europe and America in the 19th century, causing much of the British upper class to flee to India. The story is set in 2025 in a thoroughly Indianized Angrezi Raj (British Empire), with its capital in Delhi.
  • Queen Victoria's Bomb by Ronald Clark -- in the mid 19th century; a physicist gets the idea of isotopic separation after seeing pebbles graded by size on a pebble beach, and makes an atomic bomb. He intends to use it to end the Crimean War, but it never gets used, and no difference is made to history.
  • To Visit the Queen by Diane Duane -- Interference by the Lone Power results in a contaminated alternate universe in which Victorian Britain has developed (and used) atomic weapons.
Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth has inspired many steampunk film, TV and book adaptations.
