Hello everyone
As some of you might know, I am writing a crime story set in an atompunk(ish) world. Think of the culture of the 1950's in our world, combined with futuristic technology. I have a slight problem however. That is that I can't choose how far in the future the events will take place. My choices are narrowed down to the 2150's and 2250's. Both dates end with 50 because... well I don't think it needs much explanation.
Personally I think 2250 simply looks better as a number. However this would mean that the USA has stagnated culturally for 300 years in this world, which does not feel right to me. On the other hand 2150 might be a bit too optimistic a date for achieve intergalactic travel.
Oh and sorry for the clickbait title. I couldn't help myself
