* The planet Saraksh in ''[[Prisoners of Power (Literature)|Prisoners of Power]]'', one of the [[Noon Universe]] novels of the [[Strugatsky Brothers]]. There are several [[Diesel Punk]] [[Human Aliens]] civilizations in the series. Practically all of them are [[Fantastic Aesop]] attempts at [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] about the state of Soviet society and the military during the [[Cold War]] era. One particularly disturbing case was the ironically-codenamed planet "Hope", which suffered from a severely polluted environment for years and was struck one day by a mysterious [[Depopulation Bomb]]. It's been a [[Ruins of the Modern Age]] [[Scavenger World]] ever since.
* ''[[The Iron Dream]]'' by Norman Spinrad
* Ian MacDonald's ''Desolation Road'' and ''Ares Express'' are a mix of this, [[Desert Punk]] and Cyberpunk with the non-city areas being Desert Punk and the cities being a mix of Diesel and Cyber.
