In other news, a coincidence that SF Diplomat coins the term Barleypunk http://www.sfdiplomat.net/sf_diplomat/2008/08/some-thoughts-on-barleypunk.html on a day that I mentioned to
pmcray my term "tweedpunk" for things set amongst scientists in the 1950s, my mentioning of it was inspired by this fine article http://bbceng.info/Designs/designs_reminiscences/David_Birt/Third_Time_Lucky.htm I cannot say that the 4 novels reviewed or referred to in the Strange Horizons article http://www.strangehorizons.com/reviews/2008/08/everything_is_s.shtml look appealing, I think the voices in my head do the heavy handed satire well enough without needing to actually read any.
