    Not a bad stab at it, compared to the usual brand of “we’ll be eating pills instead of meals” futurology.

    Well we’ve already seen “Steam Punk” so perhaps this is “Atomic Punk” ?

  • Ed Webb

    There is an international network of those interested in the aesthetics of that high atomic era: http://www.antenna.nl/mailman/listinfo/atompunk The mailing list has been a bit quiet of late, but atompunk (rather than atomic punk) is alive and kicking, I think. No less a luminary than Bruce Sterling is a contributor.

    Am I the only person who’s noticed the resemblance to Star Wars Imperial Stormtroopers?
