A place to share and discuss Cassette Futurism: media where the technology closely matches the. Cassette futurism is both more corporate and more plastic, and takes the chunky electronics designs of the 1980s (with some late 1970s or early 1990s) and casts them forward. In a way, Star Wars and the original Alien movie are good examples with their large industrial button panels that could have been transplanted from a good many computer.
