We've talked a lot about the different subgenres of science fiction. Now it's time to talk about its appearance. Today we'll discuss cassette futurism—an aesthetic movement that's more common than you might think. We'll discuss the essence of cassette futurism, how it emerged, and the ideas that influenced it.
