Design Notes : The Astro Loco poster had to be built fast. It's 2021 and its a different kind of Space Odyssey. The design was inspired in part by ACE GARP TRUCKING CO. from legendary brit comic 2000 AD along with the film SPACE TRUCKERS (1996) zipping around in my head while flashes of RED DWARF (its cold outside theres no kind of atmosphere) bounced off old Skool DR. WHo whilst re-exploring the enigma that is MOJO NIXON (about one half of the Astro Loco Soundtrack...)

Science fiction concerns events, places and such that could conceivably be possible, speculative fiction dealing with imaginative concepts such as futuristic science/ technology, space travel, time travel, faster than light travel, multi-verses and extraterrestrial life. What elements Astro Loco contains remains to be viewed. Science fiction often explores the potential consequences of scientific and other innovations.
Here are some of sci-fi's possible sub-genres….

Soft Science Fiction. Not based on HARD science so much as the social sciences, such as psychology and sociology. There is a big emphasis, therefore, on character interaction and emotional responses.

Cyberpunk. The near-future and it despicts a high-tech, guts on the outside, grubby, data-driven mech-future. In movie terms, think of films like Hardware (no flesh shall be spared), The Matrix, Johnny Mnemonic and Blade Runner 'n' novels like Neuromancer, Altered Carbon even Transmetropolitan (Graphic novel)...which segues nicely into: Mega-corporations, or megacorps, a term popularized by William Gibson has become widespread in the cyberpunk genre, refering to a (normally fictional) massive conglomerate/multinational (usually private), holding monopolistic or near-monopolistic control over multiple markets (thus exhibiting both a horizontal and a vertical monopoly). Megacorps are so powerful that they can ignore or are the law, they often exercise a large degree of control over their employees, taking the idea of "corporate culture" to an extreme.

First Contact. Contact with aliens, that is. Whereas alien contact has traditionally been adversarial (as in The War Of the Worlds), today it is more likely to be anthropological or sociological in nature. In 1961 astronomer Frank Drake devised a simple equation for estimating the number of "technically active" societies in our galaxy. That bit of easy math is known as the Drake Equation... or there's David Kippling
