Dieselpunk is a retrofuturistic subgenre of science fiction similar to steampunk or cyberpunk that combines the aesthetics of the diesel-based technology of the interwar period through to the 1950s with retro-futuristic technology[1][2] and postmodern sensibilities.[3] Coined in 2001 by game designer Lewis Pollak to describe his tabletop role-playing game Children of the Sun,[2] the term has since been applied to a variety of visual art, music, motion pictures, fiction, and engineering.[4]
