Soon, companies will be buying portable thorium nuclear reactors, and disconnecting from the grid. It won't be much longer after that, folks will buy electricity from their local 7-11's or Walgreens' reactor and disconnect entirely from the utility company. Others will mine the grid, cutting down sections of copper wire to sell for salvage.

"Futurism" is what people believed the future would be like at a given time. Similarly, "retrofuturism" is futurism of the past. Most people think of Victorian futurism (steampunk) and 1950s/1960s futurism (atompunk). 1920s futurism sits right in the middle, mostly forgotten. Technically, it's grouped in with "dieselpunk," which extends into the WWII period, but I think the aesthetic of the 1920s is a bit different. For example, in the 1920s version of the future, zeppelins and airships are all over the place, though by WWII, zeppelins were a thing of the past. In this video, I'll explain a little bit about the 1920s conception of the future, then show a lot of examples from a 1920s science and technology magazine called "Science And Invention."
