As the title says, what are all of the different futurisms, or like imaginings of the future?
So far in my sphere, i know of a few: solarpunk, cyberpunk, retrofuturism, and transhumanism.
-
solarpunk: green new decolonialized future where we use technology, natural systems, and cultual wisdom to live sustainably and in harmony with the Earth and others
-
cyberpunk: dystopia where technology is capable of many things, but is used in all the wrong ways. Megacorps control everything, and tech is ubiquitous
-
transhumanism: future where humans can overcome their linitations through technology, and we also delve into deeper questions of how technology and its use affects people
-
retrofuturism (i’m probably thinking more of atompunk, help me here???): Star Trek-esque, optimistic, 1900s view of the future with the typical flying cars, space hotels, and luxury comforts in a utopic setting
Can you guys think of any others? And if i’m wrong, please do correct me
