So I really love the retro-future aesthetic of Mary Robinette Kowal's Lady Astronaut series. It's described as "punch card punk".

Dr. Elma York is an astronaut, with experience both as a pilot and as a computer. The story opens with her piloting people back and forth between a space station in lunar orbit and humanity's lunar base. In the late 50s, early 60s because spaceflight got a huge push forward by the need to get off Earth before meteorite-catalyzed global warming wrecks everything.

The book focuses on York's efforts to become a part of the first Mars mission and on the experiences of the astronauts on the long voyage from Earth to Mars. It is a gripping story filled with love, loss, thrilling action, and near escapes from total disaster.

It was awesome.
