Atompunk subgenre
Atompunk is punk science fiction which takes place specifically during the atom-age and space race years between WWII and the landing on the moon. The energy source for this punk is atomic. The politics are strongly democracy over communism. The good guys wear the white hats and the morals are usually straight from the heart of America circa 1950. Atompunk lends itself very well to B movies and bright comics.
At the time of this writing, there were only 22 Atompunk books listed on Goodreads. Amazon lists many more of them – mostly in series.
