The series is set during the 22nd and 23rd centuries, and its atompunk retrofuturistic setting and artwork are influenced by the post-war culture of 1950s America, with its combination of hope for the promises of technology and the lurking fear of nuclear annihilation.

Factions that are openly Futurist but not Transhumanist

• Enclave - Since they are remnant of original but corrupted US federal government, they used to be the technologically advanced faction alongside with Brotherhood of Steel until after events of Fallout 2 and Fallout 3 they become politically irrelevant to all factions and everyone in Wasteland.
• Brotherhood of Steel - They were a remnant of the former platoon division of US Army 'seceded' three days before Great War happen. When they leave the Mariposa Military Base with all their Military Power Armor to survive radiated wasteland to call home. Their descendants keep their tradition that unfortunately disallowed 'dangerous' science and technology from wrongs hands, especially in the Post-War era world.

• Artificial intelligence and Sentient rights - Fallout 4 and Far Harbor DLC (Played in main and major plots of both main game and DLC with The Institute's Synths (or Android in Fallout 3) is main reason why everyone who isn't part of The Institute was hated in first place. And some Synths has developing human-like personalities also become even hating their makers of not supporting their freedom as independent race, which some them building community way far north-eastern called the Island from returned to be deprogrammed)
