- Fiction sought: Hope / Solar Punk Examples: Anything by Becky Chambers, but most obviously A Psalm for the Wild-Built, The Dispossessed, etc What I'm looking for: A hopeful future that could reasonably come from this mess. Trains, solar power, authority at the municipal level Suggestions?Apr 17, 2025 14:15
- Went to the bookstore. Surprised myself by walking out with non-fiction: "Abundance" by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson Read 50+ pages yesterday. What I needed was hope, and that's what I'm reading in this book.
- It's very weird but The Terraformers by Anna Lee Newitz might be a good next step. Anthologies like "Fighting for the Future" and "Biketopia" can be a nice sampling platter. Also check out the Escape Pod backlog. Here's a recent solar punk story: escapepod.org/2025/03/06/e...
- Terraformers I've read and it is very close to what I want, except for all the capitalism. Biketopia is a great fit; I've tagged it. Thanks!
