A Retrofuturism Sci-Fi Art Book of Galactic Kitchens and Culinary Chaos
Book 6 in the Atomic Cities Series
by Keith Elliott
Lunch in the future is weird.
In Atomic Cities: Restaurants of Tomorrow, chrome diners orbit neon skylines, sentient waffle irons flip timelines, and brunch blimps drift across zero-G kitchens. This sixth volume in the celebrated retrofuturism book series explores 25 of the most imaginative eateries in speculative dining — each rendered in lush, illustrated futuristic concept art with a retro chrome twist.
🚀 Inside you’ll meet:
- Cryogenic pie bakers with quantum ovens
- Noodle-samurai androids hosting zero-G slurpfests
- Solar-powered cowgirl chefs slinging cornbread across galaxies
- AI menu curators designing meals from your dreams
- And a jetpack-wearing squirrel who serves Galactic Nut Roast at light speed
Printed on premium color paper to showcase every neon-glazed detail, this volume fuses sci-fi art book sensibility with visual storytelling sci-fi, served with a healthy side of speculative humor.
Restaurants of Tomorrow is part AI art book, part mid-century sci-fi pastiche, and all celebration of the strange workers and surreal flavors that feed tomorrow’s cities.
✨ For fans of speculative fiction art, chrome nostalgia, space-age satire, and vintage-inspired worldbuilding — this is your menu to the absurd.
Because in the future... flavor floats.
