A RetroFuturism Sci-Fi Art Book of Postcard Worlds and Chrome Dreams

Book One of the Atomic Cities Series

by Keith Elliott


Step into a dazzling future that never was — but should’ve been.


Atomic Cities: Series 1 is a retrofuturism book that blends sci-fi art, visual storytelling, and speculative worldbuilding into a lush collection of vignette-style, postcard-inspired illustrations. This first volume explores 25 unique locations — each a dreamlike reimagining of American cities shaped by mid-century sci-fi, AI technologies, and futuristic design concepts.


From neon-lit harbors and moonlit ski resorts to AI-infused lighthouses and tiki-themed space islands, every page bursts with futuristic concept art rendered in bold, saturated color. Printed on premium color paper, it captures the full intensity of chrome, circuitry, and nostalgia.


Populated by rocket rangers, pin-up astronauts, cyber-cowgirls, and bio-luminescent forests, Atomic Cities is part AI art book, part speculative fiction art project, and wholly a celebration of imagination.


✨ For fans of retro sci-fi, atompunk, AI illustration, and the lost futures of the Atomic Age—welcome to the visual storytelling sci-fi series you didn’t know you were waiting for.

Step into the chrome-tinted future of “Atomic Cities” — a retro-futurist illustrated book series blending sci-fi satire, postcard nostalgia, and speculative art.


This short video features five cities from Series 1: New York, Boston, Baltimore, Charleston, and Anchorage — where robot waiters serve seafood, dome skylines gleam, and southern charm meets space-age poodles.

    What They’re Saying About Atomic Cities

    Series 1 — Retro-Futuristic American Dreams

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Stylish, strange, and soaked in nostalgia. Atomic Cities feels like flipping through postcards from the future — equal parts gorgeous and absurd.”

        — Early ARC Reader


    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “A brilliant mix of mid-century futurism, satire, and visual storytelling. Keith Elliott’s vision is like if Bradbury worked in neon.”

        — Speculative Art & Fiction Digest


    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Finally, a book that understands how hard it is to be a Martian Cafeteria Health Inspector.”

        — H.R. Bot 4000, Future Labor Department (Series 4 Employee of the Month)


    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Atomic Cities reminds us that the future may have flying cars — but also bad coffee, broken vending machines, and endless bureaucratic forms.”

        — Beta Reader Feedback


    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ “Every page is a joyfully dysfunctional peek into a world where optimism, chrome, and chaos all coexist. I want to move there… but I’d probably get fired.”

        — Unknown Orbit Magazine


    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ “Too many chrome buildings, not enough chrome parking. Still five stars.”

        — Jetpack Valet, Sector 7


    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Read this on my lunch break. Missed my shift. Worth it.”

        — Florp D., Holographic Manicurist Trainee


    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Reminds me of my youth in Neo-Peoria. Simpler times, simpler laser grids.”

        — BAXX-92, Sentient Time Capsule
