"...that sums up the idealized version of 1960 that the game relishes in."

These game review sites need to consider hiring a few people with decent educations, even if their primary audience is 14 year old boys.

1960s?

Jules Verne wrote from the mid-1800s until the early 1900s, social darwinism was big around the turn of the century, Ayn Rand's objectivist novels are essentially 1930s-1940s, Fritz Lang's Metropolis was released in 1927, art deco was popular in the 1920s-1940 (Chrysler and Empire State buildings were both built in the early 1930s).

In the story you're in an alternate version of the 1960s under the ocean.
