Here's some more:
Moonpunk: In the year 1982, as a part of projects begun by the surviving President Kennedy, the very first
Helium-3 mining ship, the
U.S.S. Junker, landed on the far side of the moon and mined the first load of helium-3, to be used in a series of experimental fusion reactors. The experiments were fantastically successful. Today, the American government has a monopoly on the mining of the infinite energy that is helium-3: Soviet attempts to get in on the good stuff led to a surprise American nuclear attack on Moscow and Petrograd, and subsequently World War 3. Now, the world is more split than ever between "haves" and "have-nots", the haves being those who sided with the US during WWIII, and were rewarded for it by helium-3 and American assistance in building massive, nuclear-proof dome-cities, and the have-nots being those poor, militarized, and angry remaining Communist nations. However, even among the haves, time is running out: several helium-3 mines have come up empty lately, and American scientists fear that they will soon
all run out. The American government and their allies have kept a tight lid on this, of course: but in the ruins of Old New York, one brave team of Yugoslavians searches for the truth, in an attempt to free the world from the American dictatorship. Will they succeed?
(Yay, dystopia!)
Genepunk: With oil running out and the nations of the world desperate for another option, the late Dr. McNamara, an esteemed geneticist, created the world's first SuperCorn, engineered entirely to produce ethanol. Many other scientists followed his example, and the world soon had an ample supply of supply of both food and biological fuels. But the geneticists' creations had a dark side. Soon, certain amoral geneticists were on the payroll of such hermetic nations as Iran, Burma, and North Korea: new, powerful, and nigh-undefeatable biological weapons and gengineered killing machines (known as bioconstructs) were created, and now, the so-called "Modern Axis" holds the world at ransom with their new power, after first devastating North America with their diseases and killing machines. But in South America, a team of Brazilian geneticists works round the clock to create a new genetic superweapon to reconquer this fallen world, while in destroyed America, a group of doctors hunt for the "perfect cure", an American-synthesized chemical rumoured to able to counter all of the disease created by the Modern Axis.
