Kate Kulig asked Gail Carriger:

Hi Gail, thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. I'm dying to know, what's with steampunk and the octopi? This seems to be a recent development in the genre, and I could never wrap my head around why. Kate

Gail Carriger I would blame Jules Verne and all of his tenticular obsession. In all honesty, I don't really know. I know where MY octopus obsession comes from. In the end, I'm delighted with it. It's fun to belong to a genre that has a totem animal.
