Retro Futurist Culture

Hoptimus

The Retro Futurist project is an examination of themes in pop culture by Hoptimus.Themes of society in alternate timelines projected by cultures of the past or present. These are timelines where a once thriving society was turned to dystopia or taken over by tools of mankind. Places where society has lost its soul in pursuit of technology. To redeem our future is to talk of the past future and steer the soul of mankind forward...
