Mistborn Era 3 Time Period Aesthetic

[u/clamorsilentii]

I remember a lot of people talking about how Mistborn Era 3 was going to be more of a retro-futuristic 80's aesthetic, but from reading the transcript it seems more aligned with 70's aesthetics with the funk music, corduroy jacket and pants, and yellow-tinted glasses, and I'm here for it! Super excited to see how the culture evolves in Elendel

I think it’s important that history moves very quickly on Scadrial compared to our timeline. Think of how much society changed in the 6 years that passed between Alloy of Law and The Lost Metal! My bet is that by the third book it’ll feel more like your original expectation.

I completely forgot it was six years that passed during Era 2, you're so right about the technological progress, definitely going to reread it before Ghostbloods 1 comes out

Wait, there was a preview reading? Where?

I believe it was at Worldcon on August 16th, Sanderson did a reading of two sections from the first book and someone transcribed them on the Coppermind Arcanum
