Science Fiction Western

A science fiction Western occurs in the past, or in a world resembling the past, in which modern or future technology exists. The Anachronistic technology of these stories is present because scientific paradigms occurred earlier in history but are implemented via industrial elements present at that time, or because technology is brought from another time or place. The genre often overlaps with Steampunk . The science fiction Western differs from the Space Western in that it has Science Fiction themes in a Western setting, rather than Western themes in an Outer Space setting.
