atompunk - I'm thinking Tom Swift, everything was atom powered. But then, so was Asimov's foundation. I'm still seeking out "utopian"sci-fi. It's in the backdrop of Star Trek, I'd like to see more of that.

Yeah, "solarpunk" came up shortly after that, which I know has had a run, and I think needs to come back as we (hopefully) ramp up ways to lower our ecological impact, and Tara Calishain suggested "infopunk" as something appropriate to our age.
I'm kinda wondering about "infopunk" as an exploration of information in the age of LLM and machine generated images, where the truth is even more subversive than it has been....
