Any Modpunk literature?

Elidor

There are a lot of fanatsypunk genres, but I haven't seen any based on Early 1960s Style, Culture and Technology in the same way Dieselpunk focuses on the 30s, or Steampunk on the Victorian era. I guess "Modpunk" or "Modernist punk" would be an apt-description for that.

Does any modpunk literature exist? Or does it go by a different name? is there anything close to it?

The Jetsons. Zathura, to some extent. I think the term you're looking for is "zeerust."

I call it the Era that Promised Me that I'd Have a God-Damned Jet Pack and a Vacation Home on the Moon, But Was Lying.

Nahh. Zeerust is more 1950s. than 1960s.


A 1960s based punkworld would have-- stylish Vespas hovering on anti-gravity, powerful stimulant drugs without negative side effects; James Bond style gadegetry on steroids; Rounded minimalist designs in burnt orange everywhere; All females wearing primary-color miniskirts, even when they happen to be, say, a judge or a politician, while all men are decked out in sharp, tight-fitted suits.

Sounds like Bioshock, or Metal Gear Solid 3 (that was the one set in the sixties, right?). Or a No One Lives Forever 1 & 2. Hell, James Bond for that matter...
