A Retrofuturism Sci-Fi Art Book of Cosmic Cuisine and Culinary Chaos
Book 7 in the Atomic Cities Series
By Keith Elliott
The lunch rush is back — and it brought glitter, gravity beams, and a side of cosmic cheese.
Welcome to Atomic Cities: Restaurants of Tomorrow II, the seventh volume in this acclaimed retrofuturism book series where sci-fi art, satire, and chrome-drenched nostalgia collide over a deep-fried vision of the future.
This fully illustrated volume serves up 25 brand-new visual storytelling sci-fi scenes from speculative kitchens that never should exist — but somehow do. From smoothie alchemists blending anti-matter to burrito bots launching lunch at hyperspeed, every postcard captures tomorrow’s weirdest workplaces and most dysfunctional menus.
Inside, discover:
- Anti-gravity biscuit ovens and glitchy griddle bots
- A cheese-slinging dairy droid named Fonduella
- Orbiting oyster trays and ramen mid-air
- Cosmic chefs, vending sommeliers, and neon taco techs
Printed on premium color paper and designed in vintage postcard style, this installment blends futuristic concept art, AI art book flair, and mid-century sci-fi aesthetics into a collection that’s both deliciously absurd and visually stunning.
Whether you're into retro diners, vaporwave absurdity, or just really weird menu ideas, this speculative fiction art volume deserves a place on your tabletop (but maybe not next to your actual food).
✨ Pull up a hover stool. Clock in. And dip into a future where flavor floats... and occasionally malfunctions.
