Atomic Age (genre of fiction)

Atomic Age is a subgenre of Science Fiction that falls into the category of Retrofuturism, a creative arts movement influenced by the future depicted by the past. If "futurism is sometimes called a 'science' bent on anticipating what will come, retrofuturism is the remembering of that anticipation." The Atomic Age genre draws primarily from the futuristic concepts of the 1950s and 1960s typically with an emphasis on Atomic and Nuclear technologies. Atomic Age fiction has also been a term applied to Science Fiction from the 50s and 60s, especially those regarding Atomic concepts.
