I might be outing myself as beyond geeky with this, but Hackers is one of the few movies I've enjoyed enough to watch multiple times. So I'm very happy to report that someone has written a steampunk version of the script, and recorded a group reading of it, all available online. It's called Clockers.

DAED

Gear Shits book, so named for a famous misprint on the title page. Principles of Cog Power.

SNACK

DAED

Devil Book. Secret London tunnel maps. Also known as the "Ugly Red Book That's Too Big For A Shelf."

I don't think you have to be a fan of the source material to enjoy this, but that may help. It's silly, anachronistic, and full of steampunk tech.
