Retrofuturism.

Retrofuturism is a genre of art. People from the past imagine the future. There are many assumptions about what the world will look like in many years. 

Writers wrote books about the next century and describe inventions of mankind. Artists paint buildings of the city of the future and its changes.

But these expectations don't always correspond to reality.
