'AtomPunk relates to the pre-digital period of 1945-1965, including mid-century Modernism, the Atomic Age and Space Age, Communism and concern about it exaggerated as paranoia in the USA along with Neo-Soviet styling, underground cinema, the Sputnik programme, the rise of the US military/industrial powers and the fall-out of Chernobyl.
It is likely this particular sub-genre will overlap with Super Human SF.
Its aesthetic describes a retro-futuristic vision of the world.'
So that italicised text above is Ooorah's 'official,' definition of AtomPunk. It's probably fair to say though that there is way, way more to this rather fantastic sub-genre than that.
Strap yourselves in, mothertroopers. Start your mini-reactors, soak in all of that glorious nuclear power and prepare yourself for one hell of a ride as some of your Tevun-Krus and Ooorah favourites put on a show!
Before we get to that though, as you all know by now we host a 'cover-off,' on the Ooorah 2016! thread in the Sci-Fi club. OutrageousOllo won this time 'round, tying the score at 2-2 with MadMikeMarsbergen! The cover he submitted, is below!
