Wallpaper on the ceiling... oh no!!

So sometime between the 1930s when our house was built and now, someone decided to put wallpaper on our 10 foot ceilings (in every room). Currently the wallpaper is cracked and peeling, you can also see overlapping, where they did not do a good job putting it up. Now comes the question: Does anyone have any tricks on how to get it off easily? The whole house was wallpapered and there are spots where the wallpaper is so old we opted to redo the drywall because it was so hard to remove. Is it easiest to steam it? How does one soak it like you would the walls? On the walls, when I removed the wallpaper, I used a combination of water and vinegar and wallpaper removal gel. Needless to say neither one worked well for me. Any help would be appreciated!

You guys know this stuff is likely riddled with asbestos, right? That was very common back in the 1930s-1970s.
